[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2712491, member: 124909"] Precisely, my first Grendel I did when I did not know as much about these things is within spec but at the very top of the range. My last personal build is at or very close to minimum. I have never had an issue with the larger one causing case head separation or splitting but after the 1st firing That brass only gets the shoulders bumped about 3 thousandths. The last 5 or 6 I have built all has fired brass measuring within 3 thousandths of each other. The average for those is a full .008 less than brass fired in that first barrel. My hopes are that I may find a bolt or make one that does not have as deep a face as the one that is on there now. Or possibly try a type 1 bolt and take a couple thousandths off the face. I don’t shoot that gun much now. But it shoots very well with the right loads. I just have to be careful not to get loads mixed up. [/QUOTE]
