[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 688661, member: 2736"] +1 Depending on the location and use, I will use .005 minimum and .010 max. Bolt to action= .001 to .002 Head space= .0005 to .002, depending on the shooter,type of action, type of cartrige and intended use. Some Smiths may have different tolerances but they are close to the posted minimum clearances. I have seen actions with a lot more clearances but these were just sloppy/poor workmanship and are an indication of the total quality IMO. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
