[QUOTE="codym, post: 1571840, member: 105909"] Your right. The person I bought the rifle claimed he never fired a round out of it, that it had only been test fired by the smith. The first major issue with the rifle was that it would not fire 280 rem factory ammo. It would dent the primer but no ignition. Sent it back to the smith and he re-set head space and put a new firing pin spring in. We talked several times about the reamer and he stated it wasn’t the new SAAMI reamer but the older 40 degree reamer. I failed to do my research on the dies being different. I will call him again tomorrow and see if he can send me the reamer specs. I feel like throwing this rifle down the range at this point. I’ve spent a ton of time and money but I’m determined to get it right. Sorry there was a typo .002 shoulder bump is correct. [/QUOTE]
