Have a rifle that I am trying to get shooting as accurately as possible and it has been fighting me the whole time. I went to measuring the chamber to get a good starting point for COAL and found that touching the lands it is at 2.840", too long.
Don't have any "go/no-go" gauges so I am unsure as to whether or not I have a head spacing issue. I figure it is likely.
The rifle is also a semi-auto. Was going to load some rounds long at 2.820" or even 2.825" even if I have to shoot one at a time and see if it groups better.
Does anyone see any issues with this? I think that I will also see if the local gunsmith has headspace gauges.
