[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1302527, member: 24284"] A 'pre-fit'? Looks to me like the chamber should have been cut deeper into the barrel so that only a small clearance between the end of the barrel and the end of the bolt exists plus the depth to the bolt face, from the end of the bolt. That way, much of the solid part of the cartridge case is 'buried' into the chamber. It does look rough, though. You can't expect much from some of the pre-fit barrels available these days. Send it back, with a couple pieces of brass fired in it! At least consult with the seller/maker with this problem. Sounds like you installed it properly using gauges. Nosler brass is expensive enough, let alone have a chamber that makes a mess of it. [/QUOTE]
