[QUOTE="CopperBasin, post: 1156138, member: 71895"] Well I'm glad I asked about this because I've learned a lot already. I fired the rifle when I first got it about three years ago then kind of gave up on it. Now I have renewed interest. The serial a 902,xxx so that's good. I will be taking to a local gunsmith to iron some of this out. The head space does appear to be an issue. I compared the fired cases with the reloaded unfixed cases and the is a visible difference in the shoulder, didn't measure but it's a lot. In fact on more inspection, the barrel is stamped .35 Whelen but the dies that came with it are .35 Whelen Improved. The fire formed cases look more like a 40 degree. The cases were resized military -06 [/QUOTE]
