[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 284294, member: 4191"] If WRG is correct and you've simply got a custom chamber that is headspaced out of SAAMI specs then a gunsmith would be able to correct the headspace, but I'd rather have the same chamber reamer used that initially cut the chamber than running a sloppy run-of-the-mill factory spec style chamber reamer in there and screw up what was otherwise a nice snug fitting chamber that would improve brass life and possibly be of benefit to the accuracy of the rifle. And if that's the case, these 50 brass casings should chamber in just about any other chamber, so there may be nothing wrong with the brass if the front of the belt to the case head measurement is indeed within SAAMI specifications. Know anyone nearby with a 7mm STW? Try then in another chamber. Some custom chambers are cut on the snug side, but I don't know why a gunsmith would underdo the case head to front of belt case head measurement - unless someone specifically ordered the chamber out of SAMMI specification headspace.
