I use a .004 shim with a commercial .070 gauge. Peter Laidlermentioned that some time back, and that is what I do now. Made sense to me. I had thrown the supposed .070 max headspace gauge aside when I found it didn't actually measure anything. I'm not in the business but for the few I have, I still like to check and inspect for my enjoyment. More a piddler then ever a gunsmith.
