[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 1779467, member: 68758"] You lost me on this...there is no "checking gap" on a Savage like you would on a "typical" turnbolt like a M700 with a fixed tenon length/shoulder- you don't have a thread tenon per se, nor a shoulder. No idea what you were trying to do here. Savage chambers (with a nutted install) are cut to a depth so that there is .125-.130 thou of go-gauge protrusion. That's the only number that matters. Too much protrusion results in an excessive unsupported case head and can cause catastrophic failure- even though "headspace" might be zero... What is the go-gauge protrusion from the chamber??
