[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 1853018, member: 68758"] On using a case with extruded primer... If you could do this with a precision ground headspace gauge, it would be better. With a case, you're getting relative headspace, which is what most of us care about. This is the same principle as the OAL gauge most of us use. Case isn't a headspace gauge, and it's for that exact reason we [I]have[/I] headspace gauges. Cutting shim stock, stuck to the base of a headspace gauge with a dab of grease. Or, Plastigage if the spirit moves ya. Not as fancy, but a piece of soft solder will serve the same purpose. [/QUOTE]
