Thanks for the replies..i ended up with the standard die set. I sized up 10 cases during setup. Now i need to setup my case trimmer and seater die. I have some 168 gr on hand, that is use for my M1A icon

so going to try those first. Forget what my headspace was. I will check when i get home and post it. I checked the saami spec and some factory stuff and it was in the ballpark.
What are you guys setting headspace at?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Well, Just got home and checked my headspace using the hornady tool. Which indicates a headspace of 2.044" +/- .001" . So with SAAMI specs being 2.048"-2.058" i should be fine. I will have to fire and let a few cases cool before extracting them to get an idea where my chamber is specifically. The factory stuff(PPU) i measured was 2.045" +/- .001". Dont want to make ammo specific for this rifle but safe for my 1903a3 and Garand icon
