[QUOTE="Sending156s, post: 1618179, member: 109060"] Thanks, the gunsmith who fixed most of the problems checked with a go/no go gauges. It’s definitely the firing pin. I had 18 cartridges loaded for 2 ladder tests. 3 misfired, but when I rechambered (was single feeding) all three fired. One took 3 times. I’m glad to hear what you said about an easy fix. My friend, Bob is 75 & doesn’t like working anymore. I hate to ask him to help again, but if easy I might do it. I just came up from reloading shop, my brass tumbled, decapped, I do that with a RCBS decamping die, separate from resizing. I have got a tray with brass ready to load.....i’ll Load, shoot, and take pic tomorrow. Then post. I’ll have to get the exact #’s out of my reloading log tomorrow. I had new Norma brass that I had run through a Redding type S FL bushing style die. The case body grew 14 thou on shooting. Going off case base to shoulder datum line. I’ve got to try to find some old #’s. That seems to much to me. On the fired cases i’ll Only bump shoulder back 1 to 2 thou. I’m more surprised that someone would send a rifle out this way then I am disappointed. I’m disappointed too. [/QUOTE]
