[QUOTE="can1010, post: 2785407, member: 43193"] it doesn't really matter how you set headspace on your rife. as long as you are in control of the fireforming and sizing for that rifle. just remember the longer you go and the more you backout your die for proper shoulder bump the less the base gets sized and will cause problems down the road with bolt click, hard or sticky extraction and if not fireformed properly case head separation becomes a problem. i do all kinds of crazy things experimenting and wildcatting but i would not go much longer than a no-go without ordering a new reamer and gauges and custom sizing die. remember never sell a rifle that has that type of mods to anybody ever.
