[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 261130, member: 4950"] I recently got a Shilen screw-in barrel for my Savage Model 16 in 300 WSM, and found that I had to full-length resize all my brass to get it to chamber. I did some measurements and found that fired brass from the two Savage factory barrels I've used measured .542 at the shoulder, and the Shilen barrel needed .538, SAMMI spec, to chamber. Is it common for factory barrels to have loose chambers? The Savage barrels shot good groups, and reloads with just neck sizing worked fine. [/QUOTE]
