    Greetings,
    This does surprise me a little as the two .223 rifles I have here currently are close to minimum. I can't see how you can measure headspace, even for comparative purposes, with a projectile. If the headspace is actually anywhere near 0.020" this is grossly excessive which would point to a problem with the rifle, die or both. Perhaps you could tell us how you actually measured it.
    Regards Grandpamac.
