[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1887469, member: 28965"] Below a Colt 5.56 Field gauge at 1.4736. [img]https://i.imgur.com/F81aB6g.jpg[/img] Below the same Colt Field gauge in my Hornady Cartridge Case Headspace gauge. The red and silver sections were adjusted and separated .011 to get the same reading. [img]https://i.imgur.com/kkoU6og.jpg[/img] Below a "FIRED" case from my AR15 in my Hornady Cartridge Headspace Gauge and I'm not measuring "head clearance". This case is very close to actual chamber headspace minus brass spring back after firing. My sizing die is then set for .003 shoulder bump. [img]https://i.imgur.com/H0SXHH8.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
