[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 809264, member: 2736"] [b]Re: Savage head space ?[/b] I like very little head space if any at all because I reload and can adjust the dies to make them chamber with just a slight feel. This helps with accuracy and brass life not to work the brass more than needed. If a person is going to shoot all types of factory ammo, proper head space is normally covered by the Go Gauge. If your loads are near max you may have to size a little more unless extraction it not a problem. Sounds like you did well setting the head space if one layer of tape made closing the bolt hard. (With Savages you must compress the flex washer between the bolt body and the floating bolt bolt head to end up with proper head space when fired. In My opinion you are fine. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
