[QUOTE="kraky2, post: 88983, member: 3532"] Thanks for the info I may talk to my local smith about it. The only other gun I've seen that much headspace on was a winchester model 70 chambered in 300 wby. With full power loads it would start to crack just ahead of the belt in 2-3 reloadings. Mine might be the same way. I see that there is some "shine" just ahead of the belt from the case stretching forward to match the chamber dimension. I do have a cool shim kit from sinclair that you can set a die to do a factory resize but then you put some of these shims under the sizing die to match the headspace to what you want without playing with the lock ring. (I just don't know if I've got enough shims to take up about .030"! I guess just for brass life I should get the thing set correct. [/QUOTE]
