[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1716070, member: 10755"] First off, what's important to you is NOT important to everyone. The datum IS important, it is the ONLY dimension to use for HEADSPACE. Whether you are comparing to others or not is moot. If you want to use a cartridge case to measure from, that's fine, but you must understand that that is not the Datum it is measuring from. When you measure from a different point to compare bump, do you REALLY know what actual headspace you have? Have you ever compared the 2 measurements side by side? I know I have and you would be surprised by the difference. Which really is head clearance we are measuring, not headspace. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
