[QUOTE="oidg, post: 972506, member: 82187"] I recently had a reputable gunsmith (that I'd rather not call out at this time) rebarrel a 7stw for me. I had shot out the previous barrel. The rebarreled rifle shot decent, about .75 MOA at the range today, but I expect it to shoot much better, as it was a sub 1/2 moa gun prior built on a stiller action. After getting home from my first trip to the range with it, I got out the Hornady headspace gauge. Growth from new unfired brass to once fired measured .020. I'd like some feedback from you guys before I bring this up with the smith. What is acceptable headspace growth? thanks [/QUOTE]
