[QUOTE="Chas1, post: 2114542, member: 15738"] Correct. Getting back to the primer test. Since my cases seem to be all shorter than my chamber I figured right or wrong that id I barely seated a primer and then inserted them into my gun and closed the bolt that the bolt would only seat the primers further once case shoulder is up against chamber and stop seating them any deeper once bolt was fully closed. Then I could measure using Hornady comparator to base of primer and got 2.045. Now I know comparator isn't an exact measurement but is does at least let me compare to other fired cases. Now if I take a go gauge at 2.0487 and put it in my comparator take a reading then I'll know how many thousands + or - my comparator is off and either add or subtract from the 2.045 measurement and that should give me a pretty good idea on actual headspace...well at least in theory IMO.
