[QUOTE="Saumbody, post: 1771303, member: 104723"] Just repaired a friends rifle with a undersized chamber, It looked under 15x magnification like the reamer used was worn heavily and undersized the chamber. Headspace was minimum as you could barely close the bolt. Since it was already chambered, I just put a "Good" twice used reamer in by hand and cleaned it up. All is good in the world now. Measuring brass is a crap shoot!!! Brass will spring back at times and the technique to measure it is almost impossible to repeat when 0.0015 is the difference between good and bad on a case head expansion. The main take here is Don't listen to our guesses! get it checked by a gunsmith that is chambering custom rifles and not one that just does trigger jobs on 1911's. They will normally charge a hours time to do this. [/QUOTE]
