I haven't loaded .400 Corbon in a while. I had to set it up again using the new LNL. I set up the headspace using the Fire Dragon barrel I use.
The barrel can also be used to determine if your seating depth with a given bullet is short enough to fully chamber.
A question often posted is why reloads won't chamber. Often times the answer is the O.A.L. with the bullet used is too long. The bullet is getting into the lands and holding it back from fully chambering.
This pic is often used to demonstrate proper headspace and when a bullet is seated too long.
.400 Corbon - Fire Dragon Barrel. The case head is about .005 to .006 below flush. Plenty of clearance.
