Without using the "go/no go" gauges what is the preferred way to properly check the actual headspace of a chamber? Got a friend who is shooting a Handi Rifle and just had some case head separations. I believe he has more headspace than he needs. And on a different but related subject am I correct that the headspace for a .308 Winchester is the same as for the .243 Winchester, .260 Remington and the 7mm-08 Remington, 1.627" to 1.634"?
Been looking at a RCBS precision mic to check fired cases against SAAMI specs and it seems to me that if you had a .308 it would work for the other cartridges as well.
