[QUOTE="Johnny5, post: 339036, member: 21027"] I contacted PGW to ask whether or not that would damage the action or bolt and they assured me the action was plenty strong enough to take that with no damage which puts my mind at ease some. Still ticked that alot of good and very expensive brass was ruined and the chamber needs to be re-done but at least I'm not screwed on the action. Can anyone suggest what the optimum headspace should be. The Kiff gauges give a .005" tolerance between the go and no-go, is there some kind of sweet spot in there or anywhere in that range is good? -John [/QUOTE]
