[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 1713567, member: 85874"] J You should correct the headspace for several reasons. A belted mag headspaces off the belt. So you now have a out of spec chamber and it will always give you difficultly. Yes some new brass may fit and some may not. The reason the old brass doesn't fit is because it is headspacing off of the shoulder. Also if you sell or pass the gun on then someone else will have problems and not know the history. I assume you have a barrel marked 300 Win Mag so make it a correct 300 Win Mag and avoid all future problems. Just my .02 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
