[QUOTE="Chugiakbilly, post: 650795, member: 48027"] Glad the Lee Dies helped your problem. Be aware they didn't cure it..... You said you tried 'GO' and 'NO-GO' gauges and that the 'GO' gauge was "snug". This indicates a head-space issue. Your cartridge head-spaces on the shoulder and if the chamber is not sized deep enough (cut) by the reamer the 'GO' gauge will contact the bolt face a little to snugly. As another poster pointed out, this is a WHOLE lot better then having your bolt close on a 'NO-GO' gauge. Have a Gunsmith make a casting of your chamber.... it sounds like your replacement barrel has a tad short chamber. It's an easy quick fix once you know HOW short so he can run his chamber reamer in the correct depth. Live and learn. When in doubt try a new factory round. A sizing die might have been made to maximum tolerance while your barrel could have been chambered with an unused minimum tolerance reamer. Reloading is NOT to be taken lightly or with ANY distractions going on. Reload for ACCURACY, not for maximum speed. There are many BOLD reloaders and a few OLD reloders. I have noticed the absence however of the BOLD-OLD reloaders. Keep your powder dry...:) [/QUOTE]
