Sounds like a great Idea.
Factory ammo is running .006 clearance for headspace. I have a PTG Go headspace gauge, the Whidden 6mm arc specific case gauge. My reloads I am pushing the shoulder back .002 to .003 with my reloads.
I am determining head space of the rifle comparing fired brass to the Go gauge. By my measurements, the headspace of this rifle is only .004 greater than the Go gauge. Quite acceptable by my standards.
Ill get out and fire a few more & see how I do uploading photos. Ill also do some closer investigation regarding the firing pin protrusion & clearance along reach out to Savage looking for a solution.
Thank you all!
A little more on the Whidden case gauge. This I would give a definite thumbs up.
