[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 554501, member: 5302"] The reloading industry calls tools that measure the head to shoulder distance a case gage; sometimes a case headspace gage. Headspace gages measure the rifle's chamber from the bolt face to the point in the chamber that stops the loaqded case from going too far forward. That chamber point is also where the case stops as the firing pin drives it forward and firing the primer. With such a gage, such as the RCBS Precision Mic, you can measure fired cases and set a full length sizing die to set their shoulders back 2 thousandths; about right for all bottleneck cases [/QUOTE]
