Rebarreled a Savage with one of those ER Shaw barrel kits. The kit came with the go and no-go gauges.
I set the barrel up to go on the go gauge and not go on the no-go gauge. I dont feel anything when pushing the bolt down on the go gauge.
When I try to chamber some factory ammo the bolt definitely barely wants to chamber the round and there is a small bit of sticking upon primary extraction. Upon inspection of the round, there is definitely a ring at the base of the neck telling me it is pressed up against the neck to shoulder transition area of the chamber.
I can live with with this but should I?
If I go to adjust headspace, how am I to trust the gauge when it told me it was fine the first time but then turned out to be a bit too tight?
I could open up headspace the tiniest turn of the barrel but then should I trust that the No-go gauge is telling me the truth?
