I am working on a 250 savage checking the chamber, and I have a Forster Go gauge. It closes fine on the go gauge, and I was wondering how much longer a NO Go or a Field Gauge is than the Go? can adhesive tape be added to the end of the GO gauge to these lengths?
What it is with properly trimmed and resized brass the bolt is not wanting to close.
So I pulled the 100 gr. bullets from the dummies I was using, resized and checked 5 of them again and they went.
I then loaded one of the 100 gr. bullets to COAL again and the bolt failed to close, I then coated the bullet with Dykem and checked it and it seems there is no Free Bore at all, rifling starts at the case neck. Is it possible that somoni used a reamer that had no free bore? Rifle appears unfired.
