[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 671862, member: 24624"] That depends. If you're engraving the jacket from the pressure, then don't push so hard. If it still doesn't feel right, try to get your chamber bore scoped to see what's going on. Savage and others do have tooling issues from time to time. I've heard of some where the chamber was cut off center from the bore. Obviously, those don't shoot very straight. So if it shoots well, it's probably not a concern. If that doesn't seem to be an issue or concern, and if you're not engraving the jacket with the "firm" pushing, then I'd use that as my point of reference. In the end, it doesn't matter what the measurement is since it's simply a point of reference. What I think is important... - drop your charge back and work up whenever you go from jump to jam - the ideal amount of jump/jam can be different from one rifle to the next - jamming bullets in a hunting rifle will ruin your day if you open the bolt on a loaded round and pull the bullet out spilling powder into your chamber/magazine - will the loaded rounds fit and cycle from your magazine - are you getting the desired accuracy Hope this helps. -- richard [/QUOTE]
