[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1745831, member: 74902"] Never said it wasn't safe. Just said it was a bad idea. Actually I think it's a stupid idea and decided not to bother with such a silly conversation anymore, hence I didn't offer a reply. But since you insist...... You [U]could have[/U] set head space .003~.006 shorter than a SAAMI Go gauge. Cause most new cases are that much shorter than SAAMI min. spec. Now if you set it .006 short and the next batch of brass is only .003 short of SAAMI, your gonna have a problem. Also, a lot of dies cannot set a shoulder back that far. So maybe you shouldered the chamber .006 short and the die can only set back to .004 short. Gonna have a problem. Guy might want to sell the rifle before he burns it out. Now he's trying to sell a rifle that someone chambered .006 shorter than SAAMI spec. That could be a problem too. In the end, why the heck did you do it anyway? If the Go gauge still fits that means you didn't gain anything by sizing off of the factory round. Which I personally find hard to believe, unless you were not very accurate sizing for the factory load anyways. [/QUOTE]
