Headspace...

[Roger Payne]

Ah! But you're now talking to civvies Peter! I don't s'pose that the MoD have been forced to get the troops to neck resize their own brass..............yet.

I always feel bemused as well, at how the head space issue has become complicated over the years. I stick to the original British military specifications when headspacing rifles prior to proof. Specifically; the bolt should close over the .064 GO gauge, & not close over the .074 NO GO gauge.

To quote a Slavik furry rodent in a well known UK TV ad.........'Seeemples!'
