[QUOTE="rsmithsr, post: 1887344, member: 111769"] EXCEPT this is NOT HEADSPACE. headspace is a characteristic of the CHAMBER of a gun. it is the distance from the bolt face to a datum line. if a rimmed case this is trypically just a rim thickness , for everything else it is a reference point in the shoulder of the chamber. it is not "adjustable". it is set by the gunsmith when chambered( well except for current savage rifles) what most of you are measuring is CASE CLEARANCE, and sizing to provide some clearance. end of lecture [/QUOTE]
