[QUOTE="Zerk, post: 1262549, member: 84595"] I noticed on factory ammo 2.60" and handloads around 2.70" for my Savage predator 11 .243 win marks on the bullet, after being chambered. Maybe 3 1/16-1/8 grooves. Hornady Vmaxes. I chambered a round in a 30-06 no marks. Different brand of bullet, a Nosler. I have no other 243s to compare. Is this normal? The bolt locks a little tight. I tried loading up a long round, and kept chamber until I felt no resistence. It was hard. It got less, but never went away. Only 70 rounds through it,both factory and hand load, 2.60". Maybe just lucks up good. It is a varmit barrel. Should I have any concerns? I am I just being paranoid? I usually don't look this close at ammo, maybe has done it on various guns my whole life. Should I get a no go gauge? I bought the rifle new in 2015. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
