[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2117953, member: 807"] When reloading bottle neck rifle cases, the headspace is set by the distance from the base of the cartridge to the shoulder. If the shoulder is pushed too far down, you are creating a headspace problem and that can get dangerous pretty fast. I use case gauges to set my dies when doing a large number of cases to avoid that problem. Here is a link to what I am referring to and it is even in stock at this time. [url]http://www.midwayusa.com/product/456614/le-wilson-case-length-headspace-gage-223-remington[/url] You can insert the case into the gauge and verify that it isn't too short or long at a glance. I will often run loaded ammo into it to reassure myself that it meets specs.. Good luck, Blitzfike [/QUOTE]
