[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 3058634, member: 109994"] My brass came today. I also measured some rounds in the store with my comparator. I believe my chamber headspaces at 1.537. Most factory rounds I measured hovered between 1.535-1.538. My starline brass that arrived mostly measures at 1.537. My Lee dies also arrived. When setting the die up in the press to make firm contact and have the slightest cam over, it knocks the shoulder back to 1.536. So, it's seems that I should be able to take just a thou off the shell holder and it should be just right for handloading. Or, I might not even need to if I screw the die down a tiny bit more. Considering all the factory ammo I measured (and would likely consider using) would chamber, albeit some would rub, I'll probably just leave the barrel as is and mainly handload for it. Besides, my other gun is likely out of commission for awhile, so I'll focus on shooting and loading for this one. [/QUOTE]
