[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1779615, member: 24284"] The first Rem 700 I de-barreled in '91 had a full .015" gap between the end of the bolt and the barrel. It shot well, until I wore it out. When I installed the new blank, I closed the gap to .010". I have plenty of supported brass in the chamber and the bolt/barrel don't collide. Over the years I have tried to get closer and closer. Too close is almost as bad as too far away as you start to get malfunctions. [/QUOTE]
