[QUOTE="BobTWB, post: 1423647, member: 105349"] Thanks for your reply. I do have a belted magnum gun (7mm Rem) that stretches the cases a lot with the first firing and I size on the shoulder after that, so I understand what you are saying. This caliber is not belted if that changes your recommendations. I have checked my measurements and I’m sure they are accurate. The cases fired in the Noreen are much longer to the shoulder than those fired in the Savage bolt gun. I think I’ll bump the fired case’s shoulder back in 1-2 thousandths increments and see how the cases chamber for starters. I’m not sure if I want to buy gages for a gun that isn’t even mine. I do have go/no-so gages in .22 LR, .22 WMR and 5.56 NATO since I install barrels in those calibers, but I have no concerns about my Savage, just the Noreen. If the Noreen chambers a no-go gage, would you still reload for it, just with longer cartridges, or would you deem it unsafe and send it back to the manufacturer at that point? Thanks again Bob [/QUOTE]
