[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2665191, member: 68758"] Smith is the best route if you have one nearby. A .308 go gage is next best route- tape can be added to determine safe headspace clearance without needing a no-go gage. Quick and dirty- strip the bolt (special tool makes it easier, but can be done without) and insert a factory round, bolt should close with little to no resistance. Add a piece of cellophane package tape (usually around .003) trimmed to fit the back of the case and see if the bolt handle still falls with no resistance. If it does, add a second layer- bolt handle should not fall. Make sure bolt is stripped, you don't want resistance from FP/ spring for practical (this is about "feel") and safety reasons with a live round in the chamber. [/QUOTE]
