30-06 resizing

[Hossfly]

Found a way to get shoulder set back reading without buying special equipment. Take 40 cail. Brass fit over 30-06 brass and measure to some point on datum line , before and after resizing, will give you idea about how far your pushing back shoulder. Just looking at differences In measurements.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190107/ddfaf6aa08797023a64dcfc0a252ffe7.jpg

Have 1 better than that.

If you have go/nogo gauge do the same thing.... zero vernier

you then get plus/ minus from the go gauge from your sized case for the shoulder ..... .... plus/minus measuring error

you can also do this to check headspace on a fired round from you rifle

Ya gotta love American ingenuity.

Good ideas. I will use them.

Make sure you mark/use the same case to use it as a true comparator
after determining actual required shoulder position ("bolt just closes")
case headspace dimension.
