Under stood. Figure there's lead angles free bore length differences BUT there isn't a kinda wylde head space guage or is there.They're pretty much all "kinda" wylde. For example I know White Oak's "wylde-type" chamber is a bit different than Compass Lake's version. (Compass Lake's is a bit tighter.) None of that matters when measuring headspace.
Anyway I'm siding with Jason's.....if it closes on a field guage "something " is wrong.
Will watch for OPs results
