[QUOTE="woods, post: 317104, member: 6042"] Well I might have to back up a little here since you bring up a good point Frogman. I am not really talking about headspace from a SAAMI standard but rather the headspace from a new case to a fired space. So now an unbelted case could have a headspace as measured by the go-no-go of .003" and have a difference of .020" between the location of the shoulder on a new and a fired case. That would be a problem of brass manufacture and not a chamber problem. But I would ask what would be the important dimension? To me that would be the space between the case shoulder and the chamber shoulder, whether it would be called headspace or not. Because that gap is what causes all the problems. [/QUOTE]
