That will only give you a lineal answer Maca. For a space (volume) you really need the measurement term cubed; as in (steak pie) x (distance between eyeballs) 3.

are you hand loading now rushy?
just bad luck in primer choice I guess. theres an old guy at my local range using the same primers, doing the same thing. but he doesn't seem worried, I asked him and im sure he said hes just going to use them up.
maybe get your friend to use federal, or anything but Winchester I suppose.
if you want more detail in headspace. do an internet search about, no go gauge.. and go gauge. (basicly the go gauge should fit in your chamber the no go gauge shouldn't. its what the smith does)
Rushy if your worried just get it checked as Toby said, or start shooting a cartridge without a neck, like 45/70 lot easier Hahahaha
Does this mean you have sourced a new bolt head
But such an important HUNK of metal:thumbsup: Rushy sell it and buy a Blazer:wtfsmilie:
When I need some much deserved "Head Space" I go hunting. Works a treat for me!
@Rushy. Dont be too cynical about it, as a very similar thing just happened to a friend who was using factory amo in his (cough) 7-08.
I think he got away a bit lighter than you did, but H & F agreed to refund and replace the amo, no questions asked.
