[QUOTE="Tony 0321, post: 337685, member: 16800"] I just got my first long range rifle back from the gunsmith after a couple month wait well I am having problems with the shells fitting in the chamber.. I can load a new unfired round in the chamber but the problem I am having is that I have a few rounds left over before the rebuild and some cleaned resized cases I was going to use for the break in.. Just behind the shoulders the mesurement of new unfired brass is .521 and I can chamber this in my rifle with no problem . However when I try to use the brass that I have that has been resized it dosnt fit acording the the nosler book that I use for reference the mesurement just behind the shoulders is suposd to measure .525 and all of my rounds measure that exactly..I used a candle to put sut on the brass to see where it is rubbing at and it seems that the brass needs to actually be smaller than what the specs are for it My question is.. Is this a problem or can I get shims or a different resizer to push it down so they will fit or was my chamber cut wrong. Can I reuse my old brass or do I need to just use a neck sizer and fireform new brass.. any input would be grealy appreciated.. Oh yea this is a 300 rum, kreiger 26in barrel hs precision stock built on a remington 700 action [/QUOTE]
