    Using Tape on the back of a loaded round to check or set headspace. . . .

    Nice try. Swing and a miss. . . . . brief pause while I get my "surprised" face on. Again you have no clue, as in none, of what goes on in some lanes of work including the one I reside in. You have no clue of the context of the training, the job, the equipment or the selection process...

    Hmmmm..... True southern gentlemen don't call other forum members "a fucking idiot". . . . . . . A true southern gentleman would have said, "You are a fucking idiot., bless your little heart."

    No sir. I am clueless about them. And No, you aren't insulting me by asking anything, ever. We don't know each other and for sure nobody can read through a forum screen name. Lot's a toys out there that I am ignorant of. Hell, I'm still finding out about shit that went down in the 80's.

    For sure. I'm tracking and I for sure have used your method when chambering an obscure one-of that I wasn't fully tooled for. We have been fighting so many QC issues with ammo, your post just supplied the juice to have me start a separate thread. Honestly, I guess this thread boils down to...

    Most certainly. Surely they are at least attempting to monitor those variants and keep them within whatever set limits they assume to be workable. But then, you take those same cases and run them through automated loading machines and then into automated packaging lines hoping that they aren't...

    LOL. Well played. No sir. We all have to vent sometimes. Sometimes it is on huge internet forums. I get ya. I'm from the South but usually not classed as a gentleman. I love my 43. I usually shoot better quals with it than my 17 or 34. Maybe cause I'm paying more attention to that...

    Fed GM308M, T308T, Hornady TAP, ELD-M, Sig LE is not usually considered "cheap/shitty ammo". But yes, I guess it would be expected to see more issues with cheap/shitty stuff.

    1: You are a fucking idiot. 2: We don't ask anybody to do this during a class. We ask them to consider it as a routine equipment prep. 3: Classrooms are for pussies. 4: We cover our asses by recommending the obvious safety routines while doing so. 5: I certainly could have kept typing in...

    I don't think anybody is arguing with you proposing your question/gripe in the OP. I just think they don't see an issue or they don't care. . . . Is it a shitty trigger? Compared to a lot of others out there,. . . Yes. Does Glock care if it is not easily modified with aftermarket...

    Using Tape on the back of a loaded round to check or set headspace. . . .

    I'm sure that is a thing but it is a totally different issue from what we are concentrated on in this thread. Most/All factory SAAMI chambers are going to have enough leade length that the shooter will never see a conflict between the ogive and the actual throat when using factory ammo. SAAMI...

    That's cool. Cool because that is what kids should be doing. Not slaved to an electronic device. I envy that little boy. He's not worried about the world's politics, war, taxes, a paycheck or relationships. Don't grow up! It's a trap!

    Thanks for sharing that. I'm only exposed to 0.0000001 percent of the shooting/training that is likely going on out there so if we are seeing it enough to be noticeable, it must be fairly common within the shooting community.

    Same here. At least this method is working from a known standard benchmark.

    Using Tape on the back of a loaded round to check or set headspace. . . .

    My soap box preaching about the shooter being the last line in the QC process is due to seeing so much of this. I highly recommend that every shooter goes through an ammo checklist for each and every round they have bagged to deploy with. Most are only 20 to 40 rounds. Visually inspect each...

    Both. A few years ago, we saw a whole skid that had maybe 20% oversize. But by far the majority of the instances are only 1 or 2 per class. Some classes have zero issues. Then again, 1 or 2 per class is too many in my opinion.

    Using Tape on the back of a loaded round to check or set headspace. . . .

    Yes. In fact mostly "match" and L.E. SKUs. But again, that is mostly what I'm in contact with so I can't speak for the other hunting/sporting variants.

    .....and sometimes too short. .....and sometimes with split necks. .....and sometimes with backwards primers That is supposed to be the standard. Largest SAAMI cartridge would still fit in the smallest SAAMI chamber for any given factory OEM stamp. Smallest SAAMI cartridge would still fit...
