I know, I know...
This headspace/shell holder kissing the ram / headspace gauge has me somewhat confused, and concerned. Now - I'm not trying to start any of the arguments that have already been hashed out here before (and subsequently locked certain threads). What I'd like to know is:
If I were to be able to get some kind of soft material, say wax, or modeling clay, could I make a mold of my chamber, and then use that mold to obtain the exact measurements I need?
I started thinking about the wax bullet threads, and the headspace threads, and all the case life/ shoulder threads, etc. Could it be done?
My thinking is that if I were to soften up some wax, and use something like CLP, or Rem-oil to coat the chamber + throat, I could then force the warm wax into the chamber by hand, wait a little while for it to cool down, and because it's coated in oil, it shouldn't stick in my chamber, therefore I might be able to get a better 'picture' of what my chamber looks like inside...
Anyone else have any ideas?
