Description: Every gunsmith knows that proper use of a headspace Gauge is the most reliable way to test the length of a chamber. “Headspace” is the distance between the face of the breech and the base of the cartridge when the action is closed, and excessive headspace can be dangerous as well as impair accuracy. For instance, unsupported brass fired in a action with excessive headspace can rupture, allowing gas to blow rearward like rocket exhaust. Because your safety is on the line, Forster Headspace Gauges are made with painstaking care and exacting manufacturing standards to ensure accurate testing of your ’s chamber. If a closes on a GO Gauge, the chamber will accept any ammunition that is made within SAAMI (industry standard) specifications. If a closes on a NOGO Gauge, the chamber might have excessive headspace. Most gunsmiths chamber a ’s headspace between the GO and NOGO dimensions. If a closes on a FIELD Gauge, the chamber is dangerously close to or already over the SAAMI specified maximum chamber size. GO: Corresponds to the minimum chamber dimensions; If a closes on a GO gage, the chamber will accept ammunition that is made to SAAMI maximum specifications Headspace is measured from the bolt face to of four locations, depending on the cartridge used Headspace standards are set by SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute) specific Go Gage: Go Gages match the minimum chamber dimensions allowable under SAAMI specifications
