No. If I am understanding your question. I am assuming you are lapping lugs and trueing the action face and want to know where to take up the slack so to speak.
You will make the adjustments to the shoulder, barrel shank length and depth of the bolt nose recess then headspace with a reamer and go gauge. With the bolt inserted in the action and fully in battery measure from the front of the locking lugs to the action face, add the thickness of the recoil lug, then subtract the amount of clearance you want say for instance .005. That will give you your tennon length. Measure the length of your bolt nose and add your desired clearance, say .005. That will be the depth of your bolt nose recess. You will then use a go gauge and reamer to set your headspace.
