[QUOTE="tbrice23, post: 1270712, member: 59502"] The only way to know if your brass is too long is to make a chamber cast ( as mentioned earlier) or make a chamber length gauge. Cut half the neck off of a case with a dremel, seat a bullet in the case, ream the cut off half of the neck to have .001" tension , then slip the cut off piece on the bullet long. Carefully chamber and very carefully eject the round ( help keep the round from draging on the action while chambering and ejecting) . Measure and repeat until you get a consistent measurement. Every chamber I've ever had was at least .030 longer than book max. ( except one which happens to be a Criterion 6.5-284 Norma ). [/QUOTE]
