[QUOTE="kai, post: 1559375, member: 98994"] MagnumManiac...... Thanks for your detailed explanation. I'm encouraged to hear that you're able to get repeatable POI using the same barrel because I'm working on developing a scope turret system that makes it easy to reset the various zeros used for multiple barrels, while maintaining all of the functionality of the turret including the zero stop. With my Criterion 223 match Savage style prefit barrel, there's no shoulder to abutt against the receiver... or in my case, the BarLoc. So what I'm going to try, is holding the rifle vertically between my legs and screwing in the barrel until it contacts the GO gauge. ARC, the maker of the BarLoc, said to then pre torque the barrel nut to open the gap at the top of the Barloc the same amount (i.e. .105 inch) each time. Then tighten the screw on the BarLoc to secure the barrel. I dont know if using the GO gauge or using the NO GO gauge is best in my application. Does anyone have thoughts on which headspacing gauge would be better to use? I only use hand loads and can bump my case shoulders to fit as needed. [/QUOTE]
