Head space ?
« on: March 04, 2012, 03:56:55 PM »
I'm looking at my barrels, and noticed the cartrides go slightly lower than flush. Is this normal ? Thanks. :)

As an analogy, if your a reloader..  If its below flush like a properly seated primer your likely just fine.

As stated if no FTF's just enjoy them.
