[QUOTE="F&H1821, post: 2484717, member: 117790"] I will take a shot at this one, given that I started the thread. If you have head space issues with a specific brand or lot of ammo, you can add a layer or two of scotch tape to the head of the cartridge, to make it a bit longer, about 0.003" per layer of tape added. You then chamber the round and test how tight the bolt closes. I will do this after removing the firing pin from my bolt, for obvious safety. I will also do it with the two types of ammo I am working with (Federal and Hornady), and test for the feel of the bolt closing on each ammo type with and without the tape added to the end of the cartridge.
