“You said the 100 cartridges you completed fit in the case gauge fine but are tight in the rifle. Since these are only for the range I would shoot those with no modification since the case gauge is telling you they are within specs. Are you sure the bullet isn't extending into the rifling? It's rare for the case to show good in a case gauge but still have resistance in the chamber, that just might be the bullet hitting the rifling”
What part of of his statement did you not understand, he said case gage, the case gage only measures the length of the case from the shoulder to the head of the case, someone else has not spoken to me with a kind word for over two years, he claimed he was using the case gage as a chamber gage, something you should know, the case gage will measure case length for fired and sized cases.
As to the 90% you fail to understand, I have 60+ barrels, both take off and new with a few Mousers mixed in. All of the barrels have chambers, I have 64 chamber reamers, I have access to 225+ chamber reamers, making a chamber gage is a matter of choosing a barrel with the correct chamber, there is enough metal in a barrel to make 4 chamber gages, I make chamber gages.
Then there is the tomato stake, when a barrel is replaced for different reasons others claim the barrel is only good for a tomato stake. I believe that is a waste of resources. I also go through barrels of barrels at gun parts stores looking for chamber gages I do not have, barrels from the barrels can be had for $5.00. Instead of making tomato stakes I pay $5.00 for a chamber gage and 3 chamber gage blanks.
Not for you to worry, I place no demand on anyone to try and or attempt to take the time to understand. When I do not understand a response I ask for help.
