I v'e never had any problem (as far as I know) with head space but was wondering what guage would be the best to check it and set a die up for the correct space.

Don't know how this got posted twide!

You've been sniffing the Hoppies again I'd say.

Anyway if you don't have a proper gauge, just use one of your fired cases, preferably a tightish one to chamber. Start with your FLDie
screwed up a few turns from the shellholder.
Start FLSing trying in your rifle as you gradually screw the die down. It should/will get even tighter, may not even fully chamber.
Keep going until the case just fits in with some "feel". Then lock 'er up. Don't forget the case lube.

Thanks Jal. That is what I wanted , a simple discription of something that works. See what you mean. It just lightly sets the fired case to the proper chamber specs. Thanks will try it today!

Well Jal tried what you said to do. I took a fired case and left the ring locked on my die where I had it and turned it back up. Then I started resizing case, trying it in the rifle and resizing it some more. When I got the die back down where the ring had it locked the case fit with "some feel". The die was already set perfect. I set it by screwing down until the press barely camed over just taking up all the slak. I have used this method with out any problems on 30/06, .308, .243, .223, .270, .300 mag, 7.7 Jap, 6.5 Jap. But I see what you mean. The die is a guage itself and by setting it properly to each rifle it will work well.
