[QUOTE="blinderthanascope, post: 1127516, member: 91012"] I have new 6.5x284 nosler brass that would not chamber in the new barrel, bolt liked about 1/2 in to close, the Lapua new and once fired would chamber, I used a spanner wrench on the barrel, it broke loose fairly easy once I got it gripped in the vise between 2 pcs of hard rubber cornpicker rakers. Poor mans barrel vice. I once see a guy up a Pennsylvania 1000yd BC shoot a gun with hose clamps on his scope and won his relay, I guess cornpicker rakers and hose clamps can work, I think. I may reheadspace as I have a gauge coming tommorow. The reason I headspaced with once fired brass is to get a tight HS, with one pc of tape bein 0025 instead of a gauge bein maybe .004 to .006 in length nogo that is. I did take a rubber mallet and strike the spanner 2x fairly hard on my final torgue of the barrel, my main concern is the nut getting loose. I will order a wrench and torque the barrel later this week [/QUOTE]
