[QUOTE="arch408, post: 1626238, member: 59036"] Is the head space correct? If the old brass is within specs, and new formed brass is also too tight, then I would suspect that the chamber has insufficient headspace. If that's the case and the reciever was not blue printed, then I would disassemble the reciever and bolt and then lap the bolt recoil lugs to the reciever. You might be able to gain a few thousands to obtain the correct head space. If the lugs have already been lapped, then the chamber needs to be lengthened slightly. this needs to be done by hand with a finish chamber reamer so it can be checked constantly so it is not cut too deep. I would check the head space before I would mess with the brass. With the price of the brass, 20 to 25 pieces of ruined brass would cost more than a set of go-no go gauges. [/QUOTE]
