[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 2487332, member: 96226"] Sounds to me like it's set up for as close to zero headspace as your builder could get it and the ammo you're using is not having a consistent base to shoulder length, or your bullets are seated really long and somewhat randomly. I doubt it's the latter but the former is very easy to have happen. I had that kind of issue when an old shooting partner put some of my ammo in his gun. His gun had a much more generous headspace and I was running almost zero headspace and I had been neck sizing only. It took a lot of work and screwed up match scores to find all of the messed up brass. Eventually I just tossed all of that lot and got another lot, stopped shooting with that particular partner (for other reasons) and never had trouble again. [/QUOTE]
