I use brass sized on my equipment to set head space in my guns. It keeps the brass from growing as much so it helps the brass last longer. I snug it down so the head space is zero. Tight head space is not going to be as dangerous as head space that is too loose.

I used a hole punch to punch out little circles that I use as a no go as well as to set clearance if I want some clearance. Resume paper is ~.005", standard paper is like .003", Shotgun News is like .002" and typical aluminum foil is .001". I set my head space then use the different thicknesses to check actual clearance. I use the resume paper as the no go gauge.

If you don't reload you can do the same thing with factory ammunition but remove the bullet and powder first to be safe.
