[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 669763, member: 5219"] Title said head space gauge..... Bart, As for firing rounds in a bolt action that are tight, I don't mean having to hammer the bolt closed but firm enough that it could prevent an auto loader from going into battery. I understand what you are saying Bart. I have neck sized brass till it became a pain to close after several firings. I'd then bump the shoulder back for easier bolt closure but still a light firmness of resistance while closing the bolt. I never noticed a change in accuracy as the cases got tighter. It seems to me that a firm fitting case would be centered in chamber and cause the bolt to end up being square if there was slop in bolt. Never read any issues with neck sizing in Precision Shooting or on 6mmBR.com. [/QUOTE]
