[QUOTE="59FLH, post: 2113036, member: 108480"] [B][I]If I'm reading SAMMI spec correctly max headspace is 2.052 -.007 setting minimum at 2.045.[/I][/B] Your not reading it correctly, head space reads from the chamber not the cartridge the correct SAAMI values for 30-06 head space are 2.0487" - 2.0587". Assuming this is a new factory chambered rifle, I think you have an error in your measurements. Are you using the Hornady C375 bushing? If your confident you measurements are correct and it is a factory chambered barrel I recommend you take it back to the place of purchase and have them check it. It may need a trip back to Weatherby.
