Hello all
Working on a project of a 460 rowland conversion.
I have all the specs for the case lengths and such of the 45 acp and the 460
I'm measuring with my depth from rim for my headspace of .952 the gun chambers the go gauge and hangs up on the no go but then closes. It's catching the extractor and then breaks free and chambers. I did a fire test on it and had a good solid primer strike and good ejection. No case markings other than some scratches from reaming.
My question is is there a such thing as excessive headspace on semi auto pistols? Some say that it's silly to think so
I have chambered many rifles on the lathe but a pistol was my first
If there is such a thing as excessive headspace is there a way to correct it on a 1911 non ramped barrel
