Headspace question.
I have a Savage No.4 Mk1* that will close on the NO GO gauge, but not the field gauge. I assumed that it was safe to shoot, but there is a slight bulge on the fired cases. Would you shoot it?

I would shoot it but exercise due diligence if you reload it.

I'd shoot it, but pick up and install a bolt head that gives tighter headspace when one presented itself.

Its like "Flintstones" or "Hogan's Heroes" reruns....

There ought to be an "automatic thread generator" or something- "Auto redirect"

GBinSC, sorry! You've managed to set things in motion that just won't reach any happy conclusion.
(Use the search function in this forum to see what I mean...)
Your rifle is fine, it has a largish diameter chamber to allow it to function in the worst conditions. As long as the brass remains intact for ONE firing then the military was satisfied. Its a Military weapon, not a pampered target rifle being fed a diet of custom reloaded brass. Be happy, and shoot it a bunch!
