[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1006777, member: 1290"] Being that you are installing a new barrel at the same time there are no special steps to installing it. No lapping on floating bolt head needed. I would set it pretty snug on the Go gauge. As long as it closes without forcing anything will put it at zero headspace. This doesn't do anything for accuracy but does help brass life and will allow you to set your sizing die against the shell holder. If it doesn't bump the shoulder enough you may have to back the barrel up a smidge or remove a little off the bottom of the die. [/QUOTE]
