[QUOTE="lejuch, post: 1900802, member: 95250"] Ordered and received Sinclair chamber length measuring tool. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.sinclairintl.com/reloading-equipment/measuring-tools/case-gauges-headspace-tools/sinclair-chamber-length-gage-prod32925.aspx[/URL] i have determined my 338 Lapua Magnum chamber is cut 2.760, while my Sierra Reloading Manual specifies this dimension should 2.724(I am assuming they are just reprinting SAAMI specs). Trim length specified in manual is 2.714 which would allow 0.010 space for case length. Given my chamber length is significantly longer at 2.760 leaving 0.046 space for case length, what ramifications should I expect to run into, if any? Shoulder length/head spacing is within spec, just overall case length in chamber is too long. [/QUOTE]
