[QUOTE="kraigwy, post: 232094, member: 12597"] its quite commone for brass from one gun not fitting another. And yes there are case gages used to messure the head space of a case. I either use the wilson case gage or one that I made. The Wilson Case gage sells for about 20 bucks through Midwayusa. It measure the shoulder to base. Actually its a go - no go gage as much when the case is slide in the gage, it should be flush. The gage also tells you if the case is undersized and if the neck needs trimed. A case gage is MANDANTORY in gas guns. In gas guns the gas starts bleeding off while the bullet is still in the barrel, so you have the bolt pulling on the rim of the case while gas pressure is pushing the inside of the shoulder stretching the case. The gage is used to set up the sizing die to get the proper headspace. Granted this isn't as much of a problem on bolt guns, but would be handy if you're using brass from another Rifle. [/QUOTE]
