[QUOTE="woods, post: 834524, member: 6042"] Well my point is this; in the articles I linked to, Gunsmith Talk, Redding and Rifle Shooter they all talk about and admit that the SAAMI version has shorter headspace. My experience and Cockcroft's and others I have talked to have the same issue. Yes the same gunsmith posted the video but after several posts chronicling the .014" difference. Did he recant that or explain how he could repeatedly define the difference and then post the video? Does the video go counter to the previous explanation? Now because of some smoke and mirrors magic trick with gunsmith gauges we are supposed to just ignore that difference? Where did that "traditional" reamer come from? Does it match all the old reamers or even a few? Is some warehouse worker gonna say "OH! You meant the OLD reamer like we used to use 15 years ago!" I am not going to buy gunsmith gauges to check it out. I get enough information from what I have. For someone to tell me that there is not a significant change in headspace on a new piece of Nosler 280AI brass and my chamber is speaking nonsense. Now how that would fit in with his gunsmith headspace gauges, I have no idea and really don't care. [/QUOTE]
