[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 995677, member: 2736"] There is another test you can do that I just thought about and have seen in the past. Take a fired case that came out of that chamber and using a Sharpie Pin and mark the 12 o'clock positions on the case head. Very carefully place it in the chamber at 12 o'clock and slowly try to close the bolt. If it doesn't want to close place the case in the 2;00 position and try it. Continue to do this until it will close. If it will close in one of the positions the chamber is not centered. I have seen this on some poorly chambered factory and a few customs. If the case is not centered most if not all of the brass will not fit unless you can place it in the exact position as it was fired. You can actually take a wooden dowel and place the case in the chamber without the bolt in place with your finger and use the dowel to push it out. With just your finger you will be able to almost get it in all the way if you find the position it was fired in. Simple test. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
