[QUOTE="jaybic, post: 942898, member: 17055"] Thanks for the help fellas. I think I have things resolved. I talked to my smith and let him know that I have tried brand new Lapua brass, new and FL resized WW as well as FL resized RP and Fed brass and other than the odd case that measures long, all of that brass is nearly all the same size case head to datum and NONE of it will crush fit. The bolt has the firing pin assembly removed and still just flops shut like there is no case in there at all. After this he thought maybe we should set the tube back and rechamber to the brand new Lapua cases that I am taking to him along with the rifle which I believe is a very stand up thing for him to do. I have to drive 2 hrs each way, once to drop off and once to pick up but he is gonna get it fit right and I am gonna spend some gas money and in my mind that is MORE than fair of both of us and I can chalk it up to a positive experience with his services overall because otherwise, the work and the speed in which he did it were top notch IMO. When I first dropped it off, I asked him if I should bring some of my new cases and he didn't think he would need them so I kinda feel like I did tell him what I was after because we had the "crush fit" conversation but in any case, as long is I am shooting a safe rifle and its not a negative experience, I feel I can still have him do work for me and recommend him to others. Now I just gotta get this fire forming thing under control and I hopefully will be all good. Any one got any load data to share, I am all ears. I have 65 and 87gr Vmax bullets 70gr Sierra HPBT match bullets pretty much every LR primer out there and the following powders: IMR 4350, IMR 4064, IMR 4831, IMR 4198 WIN 760 and 748 Hodgdon superformance, Varget, Blc2 H335 H322 RL 12 and 15.. Thanks for the help fellas and have great day, Jamie [/QUOTE]
