Do you have a headspace comparator gauge (Stoney Point or Hornady)?

I’m interested in what your fired headspace is from those previous cartridges. If you can measure without including the primer, which would require a universal decapping pin so you don’t re-size the brass in the same operation.

That would be helpful to know what your fired headspace is.

This one looks like there is a line I’m not used to seeing, right above the case web:
