[QUOTE="RegionRat, post: 2958408, member: 57231"] By chance, do you have/use a Go-Gage for this rig? If by chance you have that gage, it is a simple matter to establish a good estimate of the chamber by using a thin layer of tape on the gage and checking to see how the bolt closes on the taped gage. For example, once you establish that your chamber has a shoulder datum that is +0.002" above the Go-Gage, then you can use the Go-Gage as an absolute comparator reference for your case gage. If you then inspect the shoulder datum from your fired and sized brass, and it won't close in the chamber, then the diameters must be inspected. Not being able to easily close a chamber on brass can come from multiple causes, not just the shoulder datum length. It is easy to eliminate that length and not all that difficult to check the 200 line and the body-shoulder diameter, so I would break out the prints and the micrometers and check everything. [/QUOTE]
