How Did I Do?

[John Beard]

I basically understand the headspacing concern, but how does the average guy check this without an expensive guage?

A quick and dirty check on headspace can be made by checking the operation of the safety lock. If the safety lock works smoothly and properly without binding, there's a reasonable chance that the headspace is o.k. You can also examine a fired case, compare it with an unfired case, and check for stretching around the head.

Hope this helps.
