I have a Savage Model 110 in 30-06 that I bought new in 2006. My gun is all factory; no modifications. I am getting into handloading and am experiencing headspacing issues. All my cases are full-length resized and the overall length and neck diameter are below specs. However, a lot of the ammo I reload won't fit in the chamber (aka, I can't close the bolt). Here are three different loads that either do not fit in my gun or fight extremely tight but are well within specs. All brass is once fired through my gun or my friend’s newer Savage 116:
Factory specs according to my Sierra reloading manual:
OAL 3.340 max
Neck diameter 0.340 max
Load #1:
Winchester brass
Hornady 165 gr Interlock
56.0 gr RL-17
OAL 3.207
Neck diameter 0.3315
Load #2:
Federal brass
Hornady 165 gr Interlock
52.2 gr 4064
OAL 3.220
Neck diameter 0.335
Load #3:
Remington brass
Hornady 165 gr Interlock
52.2 gr 4064
OAL 3.220
Neck diameter 0.330
Anyone else experience this? If so, how did you rectify it?
