Does the headspace gage meet SAAMI specs? Have you measured it?
I sounds like the headspace gauge is too big or the reamer cut a chamber that is too small.
Those pesky 1/10,000" differences can drive a man nuts!
Well, that's what I am thinking, that the guage is mismarked. Measured it yesterday afternoon, I don't have a 10,000 mic so these are close.....
Headspace guage rim ..441"
Just below rim .3765"
New factory loaded round ..4015"
Just below rim .343"
Guage Rim Thicknesss .060"
New Cartridge Rim Thick. .050+"
Pretty sheepish feeling as I thought I knew how to do this but didn't know if my stroke stricken melon wasn't processing correctly or the guage isn't what it is supposed to be. Couldn't find pics on the net to verify where/what was measured or correct measurements for a Bee headspace guage. Kept going back to the wrong incorrectly marked FLIPPIN GUAGE!!!!!!
Anyhoo, used the new cartridge and a piece of scotch tape so I have a bigger hole than yesterday morning.lol Now to finish making a new extractor and then see how many pieces can be gathered up after a test fire!
Thanks 260Remguy
