[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 317110, member: 2736"] No apology required !!! We strayed from the topic and lost site of your question. If the chamber is a SAAMI spec. and the head space gauge is also a SAAMI gauge then you are probably correct about the head space ( .005 to .006 ) which would be max but with out a head space gauge it is hard to say. If you are not having any problems with your brass thinning in front of the base then you will be OK especially the way you are re sizing. You can sacrifice one piece of brass by splitting it and measuring wall thickness or spend $35.00 and buy a GO head space gauge and use a series of shims between the gauge and the bolt face until the bolt won't close easy.
