![]() Headspace is term that the proper definition has eluded me somewhat. I'm shooting nickel Schofield in my 3rd Gen Colt's at matches with various low pressure loads with no problem. The Schofield is being revisited by shooters and cartridge manfucturers. It is just a function of the normal tolerance needed to operate the gun properly. So if you hold your gun up to the light and see a gap between the rom and the recoil shield it is there for a reason and your gun is just fine.īut this brings to mind an associated problem with revolvers.If you shoot very light or way bullet loads the primer holes need to be enlarged and the cases marked because with a small primer hole the primer will back out into the headspace and will lock up the cylinder. ![]() ![]() 002 clearance and Remington brass is running. ![]() I had to dress off the recoil shield to provide the headspace. the thicker rims on the Starline brass either dragged or locked up the gun. I recently got in a Uberti Smith and Wesson copy that worked fine with Remington ammo but wouldn't shoot Starline at all. The rims on all ammunition are a plus or minus dimension and they can vary as much as 15 thousands. I can't remember where the question was but someone was asking why the ctgs were loose in his revolver.
