[QUOTE="Bill Johnson, post: 1048557, member: 84129"] The method of headspacing affects case life more than anything else. I would not presume to tell anyone that the method used is right or wrong but I would say that the "GO" specification is there for a reason. That standard practice is there for a reason. Bigngreen's point is spot on, IMO. The method of using a "new" cartridge case may work initially, but cases vary considerably lot-to-lot from the same manufacturer. If you ever get to the point, and you probably will, that it takes some degree of force on the bolt handle to completely chamber the round, the recommended bolt lug lube, usually an oil, will be insufficient to prevent eventual locking lug galling.
