[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1733081, member: 36999"] If it is too long then your brass has excessive room to stretch and you run the risk of the brass failing with a case rupture. Typically a no go gauge is +.004 over the go gauge and I believe a field gauge is .006” so .008” is getting on the edge of dangerous. In my case however it is the opposite, my headspace is approximately .004” to short which causes the Barloc clamp to bottom out on itself prior to fully transferring the load to the washers and tensioning the barrel threads. This allows the system to slide and causes a POI shift. [/QUOTE]
