[QUOTE="Larry Morris, post: 73658, member: 249"] Bill, If you can close the bolt on a new case then check the headspace yourself. (If not, then yes it will have to be headspaced for sure) Take about 1" of fine solder, mine is .032 thickness, stick one end in the flash hole and wrap the rest around the extractor groove on the case head. Insert the new case in the chamber and close the bolt slowly. Remove carefully and using a mic determine the thickness of the solder. This will get you pretty close to the headspace that the new bolt has and you can then decide what course of action to take. Larry [/QUOTE]
