So, I keep reading that you should remove the ejector spring before setting headspace on a new barrel. And, to keep cases from flying out of the rifle at the bench, you should remove the ejector spring when shooting. OK, I can do that!

When shooting the gun with no ejector spring, do you put the pin back in without the spring or just leave the hole empty? I guess that hole would help you read pressure signs on the case head.

Merry Christmas!
