[QUOTE="relabbe, post: 204417, member: 5570"] Thanks J E Custom, I measured all my Factory Loaded bullets and the space between the ream and the head were all in between 0.215 to 0.218 inch. (winchester Supreme Nickel plated) which leaves a minimum headspace of.002 inch if your chamber is tight to the go gauge. The minimum headspace for the go gauge to fit is 0.220 inch and the no go gauge minimum headspace is 0.223. This means if you are using factory ammo and you are within the specification of the go gauge you can have up to .008 inch (0.223-0.215). If all the factory ammo were perfect (all the same length), what would be the optimum headspace? [/QUOTE]
