[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1167720, member: 63138"] Using brass to set headspace might work out OK and it might not. Using a precision ground steel go gauge will always work - assuming of course that the gunsmith has some level of competency. I have go and no-go gauges for most of my dozen or so rifles. I have seen brand new factory rifles that would allow the bolt to close on a no-go gauge so they can be handy to have. This is more about having minimum brass expansion on firing and thus less trauma to the brass than it is about safety but.... I recommend that you buy yourself a set of gauges (Midway USA sells them or you can buy direct from Pacific Tool and Gauge) and lend them to your smith. [/QUOTE]
