[QUOTE="TR1Hemi, post: 2510833, member: 122752"] OK, so, I measured a bunch or different brands of brass and came up with head to top of belt measurements of between .213 and almost .223. ***? How the 300 Win has gotten a rep as an accurate cartridge is beyond me with all the tolerance built into everything. If I had it to do all over again, I would just get an action, and have a barrel custom chambered for Lapua, or Peterson, or what ever brand of brass I intended on using. Again thank you all for the replies, and the PM's, and the phone convo's. This forum is by far the best shooting related one I have come across! I am glad I finally created an account. I think I am going to do a lot of looking at reamer prints, cartridge gauge specs, headspace gauge specs, and take in all the knowledge I have gained over the last month of owning this thing and give it a good think. The things I may be looking at in this gun are high production factory specs vs what I think a custom gun in a perfect world should be, and see how far apart those are and decide what, if any, action is warranted. What ever it is I just want it done so I spend as little as possible before making any change, that would require reworking a load. Primers and powder are spendy these days if anyone hasn't noticed.
