[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2589496, member: 54178"] WeiserBucks is KEERECT. Without some VERY advanced CNC machines it's nearly impossible to have [I]full contact [/I]with all 9 lugs on a Weatherby action. Do what I describe below and re-set the headspace by moving the barrel back a few thousandths of an inch. In truth Weatherby could/should make their actions with the bolt lugs having enough interference with the barrel recesses that they can add medium then fine grit paste to make ALL the lugs mate fully. This could be done by machines working the bolts but yeah, it's and time-consuming more costly to do that. Even with the massive rear "lug" of the bolt on my .308 Savage 99 lever gun it did not have full contact with the receiver. That was before I coated it with medium then fine grit paste at the bolt's rear then working the action. NOW it has full contact but, yeah, the headspace is now larger. No problem because I'm switching to a new octagonal barrel chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor which will be headspaced properly. [/QUOTE]
