0.055" is what I have seen recommended regardless of cartridge and interestingly, the action in question. I set them to 0.050"-0.055" if I find one that is off or needs some work.

.055 inch for most guns. Brownings are often .045 inch for whatever their top secret reason may be.


When I was a kid. I had the stick. I had the rock. And I had the mud puddle. I am as adept with them today, as I was back then. Lets see today's kids say that about their IPods, IPads and XBoxes in 45 years!

Out of interest would that be the same protrusion for shotguns?
