[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1048156, member: 13632"] Re headspace it CORRECTLY like you had it with the go gauge!! New brass is usually a few thou under spec, then when you fire it and don't bring it out to the correct length then you'll be grinding of the bottom of a die to get it sized correctly because you set the headspace way short. You can start a whole other set of issues doing it on brass, setting your headspace to .001 give or take .0005 on a go gauge will give you a more harmonious outcome over all!! [/QUOTE]
