[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1391445, member: 24284"] For a .30/06 class cartridge, +.010" past "GO". If the stripped bolt will close on the "FIELD" gauge, you have passed the point of having a 'safe' firearm. True custom work ends up right next to "GO". The No-Go for .30/06 class cartridges is GO + .006".. For .308 Win class cartridges is GO+ .004". Want a good chamber? FIX IT! There are a lot of "work arounds" for excessive headspace, none which fall into what a truly trained gunsmith would do. If you received a rifle from a gunsmith with as much headspace as you have, you'd have fit. Sloppy work is sloppy work, no matter where it comes from! [/QUOTE]
