[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 632137, member: 43153"] Ok, I forgot to mention, that right now I don't even posses any un-fired brass. It WAS fired (maybe 4-5 times) Winchester brass that I could close the bolt on with minimal resistance with the 4 mil aluminum shim behind the cartridge. Here is the other thing that concerns me: On several of the shells that were fired in the rifle after the over-charged shot, and then were reloaded, the primers fell out, indicating that the primer pockets are streched! Is this an issue with the brass itself, or is it a more serious issue? I am NOT firing the gun right now, and don't plan on firing it again until AFTER my new heavy stainless 7RUM barrel goes in. Who makes or sells a GO gauge for 7RUM? I'm having trouble finding one. [/QUOTE]
