    .223 Remington SAAMI Minimum Cartridge Headspace Dimension


    I know the SAAMI "GO" dimension for the .223 Remington rifle chamber is 1.4640.

    Can someone tell me what the SAAMI minimum cartridge headspace dimension is.
    Like with 30-06 I'd like to size my brass 2 to 3 thousandths over SAAMI.

    If anyone has this number please post it.


    Thanks a bunch

    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.
