[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1262570, member: 12"] 1. Measure a bullet COAL BEFORE you put it in and close the bolt. Pull it out and measure COAL again to see if pushing the bullet back in the case. 2. Hard seating with the bullet into the lands normally leaves a mark from .030-.050 on the bullet and hard to measure exactly. That does not sound like a chamber issue and short chamber that much would not allow bolt closing at all most likely. 3. In spite of the difference on the COAL between factory and reloads when you pull the cartridge back out the marks should be in exactly the same space. 4. Go/No Go guages in this case may not tell you anything more likely. Sounds like you have an issue with length of the throat, not the chamber if they are going in far enough to leave marks and pushing the bullet back. [/QUOTE]
