OK I got my head space gauge, I put in the .400 for .243 cal I measured new brass it came out to 3.617 OAL, once fired or fire formed brass was 3.622-3.624 was the longest, I measured a neck sized brass and it came out at 3.619 or .002 over new brass not yet formed in the neck size die, so I want the brass to be at 3.620 after I have bumped the shoulder back .002 ? Then my head space is minimal for my gun, I'm thinking according to the directions most fell in at that 3.622-3.624 OAL range after fire forming?
I measrued a few that wouldn't chamber and then run through the FL die and they where right at that 3.620-3.621 after I FL sized them, does all this sound right? Thanks CT
