[QUOTE="RichinVA, post: 1048258, member: 88311"] The key is to use a shim on the bolt face to gain that .001. I just assumed your smith did that. I've done maybe 25-30 rifles this way, never had anyone complain about grinding a die. Besides, it's easier to grind the shell holder.......:D If your smith set the headspace tight without using a shim or backing off the barrel a smidgen, then that IS incorrect. [/QUOTE]
