[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2216558, member: 115658"] I don't think you have a headspace problem: This is what excess head space brass failure looks like: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1497.JPG"]278993[/ATTACH] The brass on the bottom shows indications of impending failure. The one on top has failed. Compare your photos with these. Your problem is not excess head-space, in fact the headspace in your rifle might be within spec. Should the head-space on your rifle check out destruction of brass is likely to continue with a profound loss of brass & those expensive scarce primers. Subtracting the cost of components used up to make useless .257AI brass from the cost of a new barrel would be of little importance. Throwing money at the problem won't fix it - measure the chamber before buying lots of expense brass & primers. [/QUOTE]
