[QUOTE="WYcoyote, post: 842141, member: 22716"] What I have started doing is setting my headspace with a gage first, then firing one round with my new brass. I then take that case and full length size it in my die, and reset my headspace to that resized case. I make a no-go by sticking a .002" piece of SS shim stock to the case head. You end up with your headspace custom set to your die to minimize brass flow and possibly extend case life. Maybe not the best method to use if you are going to shoot factory cartridges also but I handload only. [/QUOTE]
