[QUOTE="3006savage, post: 432280, member: 12069"] Trout, You are going to have this problem every time you get new brass, even if it is AI brass if the headspacing is too long. I would measure the fireformed brass and compare it to AI dimensions to verify the incorrect headspacing. You may even notice the neck is shortened now that you have fireformed using the bullet as a one time headspace. Then I would take the rifle and the fireformed brass to the gunsmith and give him the opportunity to correct it. It is not safe to even sell it the way it is since any future owners could have case failures. Are you are sure that you dont have a 30 Gibbs instead of AI? [/QUOTE]
