[QUOTE="Howland, post: 1421104, member: 103509"] SAAMI shows 1.630" min and 1.640" max. I'll be wrestling with this soon as I'm getting back into reloading and have 3 .308s to load for and expect 3 different headspace measurements to plan around. There is a school of thought that says you will not get case stretch to full chamber headspace dimension on the first firing and your instincts are already wondering about springback. My plan was to look for a skewed distribution of case headspace measurements and bumping the shoulders back just before getting to the abnormal slope of the curve. I'd definitely be interested in hearing from those who've already crossed this bridge. [/QUOTE]
