[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 2206021, member: 33046"] Here's how head spacing works. The bolt pushes the brass case to the nipple on the breech plug. Nothing else with the case matters, especially the length, which has nothing to do with anything. Perfect head space would be a tight brass case to the nipple and you would feel it closing the bolt. If the breech plug is head spaced to a maximum thickness case, than any case head thinner than maximum will leak gas. If the head space is set to the minimum thickness brass head, then any brass case with a thicker case won't allow you to close the bolt. [ATTACH type="full"]276360[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
