[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1089323, member: 75933"] Ok, I recently spun on a takeoff 243 Win barrel onto my savage striker. It is a brand new never fired takeoff. I used forester headspace gauges to set head space. So, the writing on the barrel doesn't line up, its about a 1/4 turn tighter than the factory setting. I find that the headspace gauge works just fine, but even when I do a FLS the round is still hard to chamber. Should I reset headspace per writing on the barrel or run it tight per the headspace go gauge? FLS done with Lee Dies. [/QUOTE]
