[QUOTE="Andy grubb, post: 1425508, member: 105429"] On the belted magnums you must use a go guage to set headspace. If you were to use a new piece of brass you would most likely limit yourself to just that brand of brass due to manufacturing differences and then hope they maintain lot to lot consistency. Forget the no go and use the tape on the go for a check. I just built a Savage with a shilen and have been very impressed so far. You will need the nut wrench and a barrel vise. I drilled a hole in a piece of oak and used a bench vise. Worked great. Shilen recommends no more than 45 ft lbs for barrel nut torque FYI. I set mine at 40 ft lbs and has performed flawlessly.
