[QUOTE="CadillacCowboy, post: 1318848, member: 101665"] 308. After doing it I got to thinking about the amount of crushing force the bolt is capable of and if slight interference would be noticeable while the bolt is fully assembled. Then I questioned if the shoulder of the gauge has full surface bearing, which would distribute the force, or if it point loads the shoulder area of the chamber. I didn't feel Any resistance and I was very careful. I just want to make sure I didn't cause damage. Again, the lugs aren't galled, but the action is not SS, which I thought was more susceptible to galling? The bolt closing on the gauge felt no different than the bolt closing on an empty chamber. I later added a piece of tape and tried it and felt the interference and backed off immediately. If I did some how close the bolt with an interference fit, would that permanently open up the chamber to no go dimensions? Or is it more likely that the chamber was just cut a little too deep?
