[QUOTE="Freebore, post: 942922, member: 873"] I agree the 'smith obviously did not set the head space correctly or he would not be recutting things to fix it. I do also agree to use the case you intend to shoot to check the fit. I have a switch barrel Savage (mostly all are) with 3 different barrels and that's what I use to set head space...a fired case. Red Dot, Cream of Wheat and a TP patch to fireform standard cases or max book load for a standard 243 to fireform with a bullet. BUT you have to have a good snug bolt fit on a factory case to begin with. jaybic you never mentioned your twist rate if your looking for loads. [/QUOTE]
