[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1286238, member: 10291"] I agree that.006" of setback does not seem like a sufficient enough given the amount your primers are protruding. From your statements, the rifle has been used by your father as well as yourself in the past. A headspace problem is not something that develops over time unless the barrel was loosened, which would be rare. It would have always been noticeable by your father or yourself when using the rifle in the past. I can't help to think that if this issue did not appear in the past, that something is not right with your reloads. I would reiterate my prior suggestion that you try a factory Remington, Winchester, or Federal cartridge and see if your primers are still protruding. [/QUOTE]
