[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1555214, member: 35183"] There is more to a good chamber than just meeting headspace dimension. The chamber may not be concentric to the bore or the receiver threads. The taper may be wrong and the diameter may be too large. A very well known barrel maker (not some hack) got a chip caught in the reamer and made a gouge in my chamber that the brass would flow into, then you couldn't extract it at all. It doesn't sound like you have a gouge, but for sure one or more of the other issues. The best way to diagnose is to have a chamber cast made.
