[QUOTE="montana west, post: 1924646, member: 113504"] yur problem is the chamber is a bit long-- easy to fix just load some very heavy bullets preferrably round nose and fire form your brass with a mild load.. with the bullet touching the rifles.. then set you die short about on turn up so the case will not completly resize. and if it will chamber you no longer have head space problems but you have to reload.. Once this is completed you can expect to get a bit higher velocity because you will probally be able to add 1 grain to your normal loads... I have this problem with a 35 gibbs. it is suppose to be 63 mm but the chamber is 64mm thus I had to go to 280 brass.. You do not have this option but you will never have to trim you cases once they are fired.. [/QUOTE]
