[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 326523, member: 2736"] +1 This would be my 1st choice for the perceived problem also. Most factory ammo is sized smaller than SAAMI specs so it will chamber in any chamber clean or dirty. If you have access to a micrometer measure the fired case at the bulge and then compare it to the SAAMI chamber specs and this will tell you if it is a chamber problem or a brass problem. I would not think it was a head space problem because Kevin is a good smith and could not miss the head space enough to create this problem unless the wrong gauge was used by mistake (I once used a field gauge buy mistake but caught it before the chamber was finished). The only other thing I can think of is, If the tail stock is knocked off center by a few thousandths it will make the rear of the chamber a little larger than the reamer. (Been there to) Most factory ammo will have a slight amount of expanding at the base and some is normal If you could post a picture we could probable tell if it was excessive. Either way I know that Kevin will take care of you. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
