Later, when rimless cases were developed that were designed to have their cases stop against a case mouth, shoulder, or belt, the term was simply carried over to whatever measure of the longitudinal distance from the breech face to the stopping surface was used, even though it no longer had its literal meaning of "space for the head" in those instances.
Unclenick,

How does this work for semi-rimmed cartridges like the .220 Swift. Just curious, as I had an earlier thread about headspacing and sizing my Swift brass. Thanks.
