    Headspacing with a live round

    I know that is what the gauges are for, yet some have used the empty case method.

    I have read that some have used a live round (hopefully with the firing pin assembly not installed, or pin protrusion negated).

    Hoping to borrow a set of gauges, if not I will attempt the live round method.

    Do I still put one piece of tape on the back to act as the go gauge? Seems counterproductive as the ammo is SAAMI spec and does not possess the same crush effect as empty brass.

    Your thoughts?
