[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 944359, member: 6452"] What's the danger in the misunderstanding of the terminology for the average shooter in this instance? 99.999999% of those shooters are never going to do anything on earth that can effect the headspacing of a rifle. If anything the belt of a magnum makes it even safer as you couple routinely crush the hell out of a shoulder with no worry of head separation after a few firings. Your brass might be toasted after one or two reloads but the belt should keep the heads connected. To the OP I have loaded for a couple 7MM Rem MAgs and it was not uncommon for there to be some variance. Two Remington barrels built 20 years apart had quite a bit of difference and bumped shouldered reloads could not be swapped between them. It sounds like your chambers are within the range of compounding tolerances. One gun on the long side and the other on the short side. [/QUOTE]
