[QUOTE="Leatherneck, post: 2244378, member: 84927"] I'll try and answer everyone's questions. I have a factory Remington 700 action mated to a Kreiger barrel chambered for 7mm-08. I also had them do their accurizing package when they installed the barrel. I'm using once fired Remington brass from this rifle. I measured several spent cases and zeroed my caliper and then bumped .002, then trimmed to 2.025. I removed the cocking mechanism and extractor from the bolt to check resized case fit. Bolt had no resistance at all. I'm new to this so be gentle on me :oops:. I have a box of Hornady 150 ELDx's, I chambered a few and encountered a bit of resistance. Basically my question is is this normal with the extractor and cocking mechanism removed? There is only a .001 difference on the shoulders between my resized brass and a Hornady cartridge. I haven't checked case length on the Hornady's yet. [/QUOTE]
