@Actuary1776 5 лет назад

Every time you fire a round, the cartridge is attempting to explode in your face, but the chamber prevents this from happening. As pressure builds after you have ignited the primer, the brass is stretching. Too much stretch (I.e. cartridge is undersized) and instead of using the pressure to send the projectile down the barrel, the pressure escapes by stretching the brass so far it breaks. Not good. On the other hand, too tight of a chamber doesn’t allow you to close the bolt. Not good. Headspace is the sweet spot that allows you to both close the bolt and safely fire the cartridge. Headspace in a nutshell.

@pearlrival3124 3 года назад

if you close the bolt is there an issue?

@swanie360 5 лет назад

In regards to 303 British, the chambers weren't built to S.S.A.M.I specifications so the gauges sold in the US give misleading reading it doesn't mean the barrels are dangerous.

@dunoc6445 5 лет назад

yeah the British no go is 74 thousandths and the American S.S.A.M.i is 71 thousandths which can show it out of spec when it is fine

@silverbug97 5 лет назад

I think Bloke on the Range did a pretty good video highlighting this a while back.

@kevingriffin7255 5 лет назад

swanie, very true. The forster field gauge is 70 thou. I just commented to Eric on this. The one the Brit armorers used is 74 thou. The chambers are were made deliberately longer on Lee Enfields. I reload more 303 than anything else. I really think it is important to check your LE rifles to see where they are at as far as headspace wear. Sort your brass to each rifle. If your full length sizing keep a good eye on it you will likely only get a few reloads with full length sizing

@GunDrone 5 лет назад

The best way without a head space gauge to tell if your bolt action has issues is to just simply watch your fired brass casings. If you see the shells start to get marred (on the back where the brand name is) and shows extra shinny or flattened lettering. Is a good sign to go get your rifle checked for head spacing.

@thecanadianlanboy8132 5 лет назад

There are plenty of tips and tricks you can use to get around headspace issues in rimmed rifles, fireforming combined with the "O-Ring Trick" can preduce brass for a reloader that is safe to shoot all day long.

@TexasLonghornRanch 5 лет назад

TheCanadianLanBoy - most people don’t know about that trick. It would be nice of Eric did a video on it.

@SumDerg 5 лет назад

The fact that you uploaded this video a day after I was talking about headspace with my buddy is kinda weird.

@stephenbond1990 5 лет назад

In fairness to .303 enfields, other than the p14 fixing excessive headspace is as simple as buying a new bolt head, easier than most rifles

@6h471 2 года назад

The problem with that is that when you start measuring those bolt heads, you find that, they will vary as much as .005 in length for the same numbered head. Then you get into the relationship between the bolt head thread clocking vs the bolt head actually seating against the face of the bolt. You cannot have a situation where the threads are carrying the thrust load. It ain't just as simple as replacing the bolt head. A lot of these guns will happily close on a field gauge, even having very little use, which is totally unsafe. I have several examples of these rifles, and truthfully, I grew tired of dealing with their headspace issues long ago. They are an interesting historical artifact, but IMO, a wall hanger.

@onlyonecannoli3952 5 лет назад

Newton's First Law: An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Newton's Second Law: Force equals mass times acceleration (F=MA) Newton's Third Law: For every action, there's an equal but (or and) opposite reaction. This last one is of great interest to us shooters...especially those who think that a handgun has "knockdown" power. Per Newt's 3rd, if your firing a gun with enough "knockdown" power to actually knockdown a man upon impact, then you too would be knocked down with each and every trigger pool. The fact the mere ounces on a pistol affect felt recoil should give you enough of a clue that there's no such thing as knockdown power when talking about pistol rounds. What we should be talking about is "fightstopping" power. Is there a difference between the common pistol rounds with respect to their ability to stop the aggressor with the same number of rounds. For example, does a .45 acp consistently stop aggressors with less rounds, equal rounds, or more rounds, than a 9mm? This is tough to quantify because of the myriad of factors affecting an aggressor's decision (both voluntary or involuntary) to cease their aggression.

@TheRednek99 5 лет назад

I've had quite a few AR barrels not headspace, but I've only ever had one that had excessive headspace, the rest were all way to tight and had to be reamed deeper or sent back to the manufacturer. I always run both a go and no-go gauge for that reason. On one LR308 barrel the bolt would not lock on a go gauge but would lock on Remington factory ammo, but not on Federal and some Winchester. So just save yourself the time and trouble and get the go gauge and use it.

@TrueBlindGaming 5 лет назад

I love these videos. I enjoy shooting guns, but I love figuring out how they work even more. I would love to do classes with the SDI, but one, I'm blind, so that would cause some challenges, 2 I'm married so can't afford it right now, and 3, my wife wouldn't be to happy about it

@TrueBlindGaming 5 лет назад

oh I can completely understand your hesitation at first, but I have been shooting for years now, and when I get a good point of reference (bench for instance) and working on muscle memory (holding the fire arm the same way every time) and astablishing the same firing position every time, I'm actually not a bad shot. Infact, if more people focused on muscle memory, astablishing the same grip and position every time, instead of relying on just sights, I think most people would see a vast improvement in their shooting...also, when ever I handle a fire arm, I am clearly communicating with those around so I know where everybody is, and I insist that anybody who hands me a gun, that it is unloaded with chamber open, so I can inspect and feel the gun myself, and I also keep that same rule when ever I hand off a gun to anybody else.

@kevingriffin7255 5 лет назад

Eric wondering if your 303 field gauge is 70 thousands (forster) or 74 thousands. The Brits used a 74 t. versus the forster SAAMI gauge made at 70 thousands. It may not close on the 74. Love the videos on the old military rifles and the technical stuff too. Keep on doing what you guys do.

@TheRealCobraBurnout 5 лет назад

Excellent video and nice example caught on camera of excessive headspace. I've been laughed at but I always check my AR builds. I had one fail the no go. All new parts. The company I bought the barrel from did replace it (after some back and forth with customer service and sending the barrel back with bolt for their "guy" to check it). Anyway, great vid!

@prinzeugenvansovoyen732 5 лет назад

another thing even just with partial case head seperation/ rupture is that they can cause squibs by dropping the pressure so much that the bullet doesnt get pushed out thank god i looked in the chamber after getting the case out different to other squibs there is no unburned powder and there was a boom so you dont expect it maybe put the gun away and next time you are at the range you ruin it well i cleared most of the squibs i encountered with low pressure blank cartridges

@prinzeugenvansovoyen732 5 лет назад

FYI the Germans and Russians had so called armorer blanks for clearing barrels and testing firing pin potrution like when ivan tripped and now got 4 inches of mud in the barrel of his Mosin that he cant get out with the cleaning rod or war time production ammo got really bad and you got a B patrone or incindiary or tracer round in the barrel well better dont tap that out !!!!!! but i have to say that mausers are incredibely strong actions I have seen a Mauser (M48) with 4 bullets being squibbed one shot into another and the barrel was still good to shoot after heating it up and tapping the train of interlocked bullets out

@BigO4185 5 лет назад

An object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon buy an external force. Pascals law is more appropriate. Pressure is equally transmitted upon the walls of an enclosed system which the headspace area is. The more space that is open to this pressure makes it risk prone to failure.

@dbmail545 5 лет назад

Ever had a chance to read "Hatcher's Notebooks". He took an M1917 Enfield and reamed the chamber ever deeper as he test fired the gun. The only issues he had were insuring that the extractor held the bolt face closely enough to be set off by the firing pin.
