[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 402494, member: 2736"] +1 Coyboy is dead on. I to like using the go gauge to get close and then as soon as the bolt will close on the brass that you intend to use it will have basically no head space and the brass will last a lot longer. I someone intends to buy factory ammo only I use the same technique only with .001 or .002 thousandths head space on the factory ammo. (Note: the factory ammo is smaller than SAAMI specs so that it will fit in any chamber. Go gauges are cheep (Normally $35.00 to $40.00) and you can buy one to match the reamer used for the chamber from the same reamer manufacture. Some AIs have the shoulder moved forward and others have the same neck to shoulder to case head dimension as the parent case and these can use the same head space gauge as the standard case. but you need to know which one/type you have.
