[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1851245, member: 26077"] Run a no-go gauge into your rifles, if it closes on that try the Field gauge. Separation like that on the first firing of factory ammo is for sure a head space issue more than 98% of the time. If however the no-go gauge won't close then something else is going on. If you don't have a no-go, measure an unfired Factory round, compare to SAMI specs, now take a fired round and measure it. If the shoulder moved forward more than .007 you have excess head space, assuming the unfired case was not shorter than spec. Do both guns do this with other factory ammo? If they do, then for sure it is head space, if only Hornady then talk to Hornady because there is something wrong with the brass. [/QUOTE]
