[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1043624, member: 63138"] bro When you put ammo into a chamber you don't want it loose (uncontained) because the brass is not strong enough to prevent case failure - without the support of the surrounding steel chamber. So.... headspace is a measure that ensures the chamber is adequately supporting the case. When a gun is made the manufacturer will set the headspace within tolerances so any ammo you put it in will fit and not blow up - all good things. Several different methods for headspacing a cartridge have been developed over the years including off the rim, shoulder, belt or case mouth. If you want to know more I recommend the book "Modern Reloading" by Richard Lee. [/QUOTE]
