[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1561956, member: 28965"] Years ago I read about another chamber measuring method. It involved cutting a case in half and removing another 1/2 inch from the base end. You then epoxied a copper bore brush in the base that fits snugly into the upper half of the case. After the epoxy has dried you push the upper part of the case partially over the copper bore brush. You then chamber the case and let the bolt face push the case sections together. You now have a case that is a snug fit to your chamber and then you measure with a Hornady gauge. I personally think the primer method is the simplest way to find your chambers actual headspace length. The primer method dates back to the rimmed cartridge days and you added the primer protrusion to your rim thickness to get your headspace reading. [/QUOTE]
