For the motivated machinist, page 63 of American National Standard Z299.1-1992 has drawings for fabricating headspace gauges to Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI) dimensions.

I think ANSI have a website somewhere, failing that our Uni library almost certainly has a copy of the relevant standard on stock (they seem to have everything else).

Unfortunately, no online version. You can go to the National Shooting Sports Foundation site, http://www.nssf.org/ , (not the easiest to navigate, by the way) and there is an email address you can use to order the publication. IIRC, I paid ~$20US for the book.

8) Bingo, that's exactly what I would do...

You will probably find that most local clubs will have such a person (like me) and they are usually open to paying work (or Beer Bribery). Look for the club members who lurk in dank oilly corners and ask politely if they have a lathe...

(Oh, and if you're measuring a loaded case for max rigidity and concentricity don't squeeze the rim too hard :shock: )

 

Play safely kids :D
