[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1182778, member: 2736"] Head space gauges are SAMME specification, But your chamber may not be so you have to size to fit your chamber. If your dies are not adjustable (They are as far down as they will go) the simple way to size them smaller is to place a .002 or .003 thousandths shim or feeler gauge between the case head and the shell holder, this will size the case a little bit more without having to buy more dies until you know what the problem is. Most new/premium dies can be adjusted past the SAMME dimensions so buying a set if necessary may solve this problem. Take one of the fired cases and adjust the dies until it chambers smoothly. Head space should be set at .0005 to .003 for proper head space and best brass life. The bolt should never close on a no go gauge. (If it does, the head space is to much and other problems can/may occur). Sounds like you head spaced it correctly you just don't have your dies adjusted correctly. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
