[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1982727, member: 69478"] My guess is the case gauge neck diameter is smaller than your loaded round diameter. I’ve never used these tools and check my headspace with the Hornady comparators. They’re well worth the money. I would check the diameter of a fired case to make sure your loaded rounds have sufficient neck clearance. Ideally you’re looking for .004-.006 clearance between a loaded round and you’re chamber on a hunting rifle. In a perfect world you can run less, but in a rifle out in the field and in the environments, a little clearance helps. [/QUOTE]
