    I use Imperial sizing wax and do not clean my dies with any regiment. I have had zero problems and runout is near zero. Good luck! TR

    Gunsmithing Do you fuss over headspace?

    I chamber till the gauge closes with a piece of .002” shim between the go gauge and bolt face with the action hand tight. Once torqued down the go gauge fits and the nogo is a dead stop. Works for me. Tony

    Gunsmithing headspace

    So I chambered my first rifle this weekend and I have a headspacing question. Before torquing down the barrel the bolt would close easily on the GO, but not on the NOGO.
