[QUOTE="britz, post: 220730, member: 7865"] Headspace is the space that is between the front tapered shoulders of your case and the tapererd shoulders of your chamber. you can get a stoney point / hornady Lockn load heaspace measuring kit to stick on your caliper. If you want to measure the max headspace on your cartidge, measure one of the neck sized cases that causes the bolt to be a little sticky. You can measure one that has been full length resized to see the difference. Also you may want to invest in a Redding comp shell holder for your size shell holder (comes in incriments of .02 space to adjust your headspace for partial full length resizing). Other wise you can simply thread out the fl sizing die until you are at the optimal headspace. I like the shell holder however. [/QUOTE]
