[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 939252, member: 35183"] Sir, knowing who you you are, I have to respectfully disagree. Any 243 AI gauge that is made properly is designed to be a couple thou under at the shoulder/neck junction to headspace on the shoulder junction of regular 243 Win brass. That is after all what Ackley intended for all of his chamberings: The ability to fire "regular" cases, and the ability of the "regular" cases to headspace on the neck/shoulder junction. I did buy an AI GO gauge when I installed the barrel on my savage, and one can certainly detect some load on the cam when chambering factory 243 Win brass, as intended. This load is of course not present after fireforming. Your comments give me the impression that you have not used a "real" Ackley GO gauge, since all the concerns you raise with it are bogus. Most of the time it is tough to obtain the Ackley gauges and Manson is the only company I am aware of that generally has them in stock for the same price as any other gauge. [/QUOTE]
