[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 2491846, member: 65116"] Buy or borrow a set of headspace gauges (GO/NOGO). If the bolt will close on the GO gauge then it is likely the ammo. Take a new round, pull the bullet and full length size the brass. See if the bolt will close on that. Using the bullet you pulled make a dummy round and see if that will close. Its a great hobby but not so much if just want your new, special order rifle to work correctly. Since Weatherby put the barrel on, it is theirs to make good on. [/QUOTE]
