[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 872253, member: 39801"] Just my opinion, but I would not be comfortable firing brass with 17thou excess headspace. Even the possibility of a major issue (a-la case head separation) is enough to make me re-evaluate. That 17 thou has to come from somewhere. While I agree you can most likely fireform using a false shoulder, this is a band-aid only - you still have a long chamber or short brass. I don't like "special case" guns. When only the operator knows how to run it safely, the possibility exists of issues in the future as it gets passed down, sold, etc..... I would try to get some measurements from other virgin brass to see which of the above it is. If it is a brass issue, I'd see if the manufacturer would replace it. If a chamber issue, I'd have it fixed. My 2C only. [/QUOTE]
