223R Head Space

[ThunderDownUnder]

I'm hoping someone might know the head space for 223R case specification. I have tried a search on this forum with no luck and cannot find a Lapua drawing as these normally have head space marked.

Can anyone provide this measurement for me as I have brass that I would like to check with my shiny new Hornady guage.

My Forster go gauge measures 1.454' with the .330' headspace bushing. The gauge itself is marked 1.4636 . Hope that helps you.

Thank you groupshooter22, thats what my cases measure with the Hornady gauge and the .330' bushing as well.

Its a pity headspace isnt given on the case diagram on this website's 223R info page. Maybe this is a check that does not get done by many shooters?
