[QUOTE="Mram10us, post: 1850892, member: 111667"] Just to clarify further, headspace is the distance to the datum point. Example: .400” on a 6.5cm or .420” on a 28 Nosler. Dont confuse with neck shoulder junctions. To answer your question, take the go gauge (min headspace measurement) and check for a snug fit like you mentioned. Add tape or shim stock and that should get you to +/-.001”. [/QUOTE]
