[QUOTE="Footsie80, post: 2387404, member: 120810"] Hi all, me again. I just bought 100 pieces of once fired brass for a 30-06 in an auction that have all been deprimed, cleaned and sized. Unfortunately, I think the shoulders have been pushed back too far. Using a Hornady Headspace Comparator with the .375 bushing, my fireformed brass measures at 2.046 +/- .001, factory measures at around 2.040 and all the brass measured out of the auction lot measures at 2.029-2.031. Resizing did nothing. Since it is recommended to have around .003 headspace, these items are more than .010 out of spec, which might cause casehead separation once fired. I spent like $50 Canadian on the whole lot, so its not the end of the world. I also might have recourse with the auctioneer, just want to make sure I have a leg to stand on first. Thanks in advance.
