[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1730722, member: 26227"] KS2506, I thought about that, but I am not ruining my sizing die just for one brass company. second, if any sizing die is to be cut, it's going to be his. I have suggested this to him. the shell holder is a Dillon 550 shell plate. I am not sure how much I have to play with on the bottom of the plate. I have done this before when I had a way out of spec shell plate, the altered on is better than the production one from Dillon. I have also done this with a way out of spec 9MM sizing die, that was actually a lot of fun to make that old Lyman correct. BTW, a partial setback would work on this gun. no sights, so a 0.010" cut off the shoulder and then 0.012"-0.013" deep ream would clean up everything. Bigedp51, I must have read it wrong the first time. I get it now. the feeler gauge under the brass will accomplish what I need to happen. My headspace gauge I used for the 243 chamber is a 1.630"; the SAAMI absolute minimum. nominal SAAMI production spec. for chamber depth is 1.633"-1.635". These two chambers are already 0.003"-0.005" under established minimum for a production rifle. This headspace gauge, once I take the ejector out, is too long for the bolt to rotate into the "locked" position. the bolts do not want to rotate past just barely from the fully unlocked position. They get about 15 to 20 degrees of a turn from unlocked/primary extraction cam. The bolt face and gauge should just touch at locked position but not hinder the bolt rotation; which this stops the bolts rotation big time. This tells me I am under SAAMI absolute minimum for both the Savage and the Ruger. This now adds to the problem of everything culminating in two rifles owned by the same guy being "problem children". Jay has not given me an answer as to letting me alter his reloading gear. he has expressed great interest in me reaming his chambers to accommodate his brass and clean up the messed up shoulder in his Ruger's chamber. Go = 0.003" over SAAMI minimum (lowest allowable production excessive headspace- G.S. like 0.001" to 0.002" for target) FIELD = 0.005" to 0.007" over SAAMI Minimum NO-G0 = 0.013" Over SAAMI Minimum/0.003" over SAAMI Maximum) 0.012" over minimum will start case head separation. For hunting rifles we (gunsmith's) like you to bring in a resized case from your setup so we can headspace to that brass. normally 0.002" over your sized brass for reliable feeding is our standard headspacing spec..
