[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 414315, member: 24284"] Headspace gauges are the [B][I]only[/I][/B] accurate way to set headspace. By using unfired brass your chamber/bolt face relationship is, no doubt, short. The '[I]tight chamber, neck turned, bullet touching the lands[/I] stuff is all bench rest type stuff where each round is single loaded, not fed from a magazine, and then used at a shooting bench. I want my hunting rifles to be accurate but not at the sacrifice of reliability. Get some gauges or visit your local gunsmith and set that new barrel to specs. [/QUOTE]
