Hey guys
I am loading 223 cases and have a question or 2 regarding sizing.
I loaded a batch of cases and ran them through a bolt action .
I have measured the headspace measurement on the cases with hornady headspace Guage
At 1.456
I am measuring my prepped cases x checked with a Wilson case gauge and they measure at 1.458
.002longer than the fired cases
Is there some discrepancy in the measurement of the fired cases
from the actual chamber
Also if I am reading the saami spec right actual head space should be 1.463 to 1.473
Per my Wilson case Guage I am good but the measurement I get with the hornady Guage shows outside of written spec
Could the difference I am seeing be where the bushing tmrasures on the shoulder
Thank you for any clarification
