[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 1983202, member: 37460"] So I was at the range this morning and everything chambered fine. No pressure signs at all. Easy chambering and easy extraction. No swipe marks, no ejector marks. The original rounds were seated at .050 off the lands. I went back out in my shop last night and seated another .050 and most of the problem with the case gauge went away. Makes no sense to me though as the case gauge makes no contact with the bullet and only with the case. So running at .100 off the lands is just over max coal at 3.310. Found a great round that shot 1/2 MOA. First shot was 2957 and second shot was 2958 on my magnettospeed. With regards to the brass and the case gauge, I think I may be overthinking this some but that’s just me. I’d rather be safe than sorry though. I’m going to continue to test and check and I’ll report back my findings. I appreciate all the advice and feedback.
