Robert - Welcome to the KCA Forum.
You have a Model 1889 Danish Krag Infantry Rifle and it is in the 8 mm (rimmed) Danish caliber.
If the numbers on your bolt match the serial number on your receiver, I would not worry about head-space.
I will let others tell you about the cartridge and reloading. The Danes were the first country to adopt the Krag. The rifles were beautifully made and quite collectable.
