[QUOTE="woods, post: 410062, member: 6042"] Hey boomtube, perhaps I shouldn't have said "disagree" and rather said "add caveats to". From previous posts I realize you know exactly what you are doing. It is a little difficult to measure headspace on a belted magnum but I did figure out a way to do it. That was awhile ago and the only specifics I remember are that my belted magnums all had acceptable headspace. One is a 6.5 rem mag rebarrel and the case has zero headspace, IOW, when chambered the case belt is tight to the recess in the chamber. Those Remington cases have a gap of .017" at the shoulder. Most of the others were between .004" and .007" IIRC. It would be interesting to pull them out and go through the process of measuring the headspace again. Come to think of it, I only have 2 belted case calibers left. Shoulder gap is easy. [/QUOTE]
