I had my factory barrel (6.5 Creedmoor) replaced with a Shilen Select Match grade in 6.5 Creedmoor.
The gunsmith set the head space a little sung. That’s what he told me he was going to do.
I don’t reload at the moment but reloading is something I plan on doing. The factory rounds
cycle through the magazine and the bolt closes with no problems but he told me to take a marker and color the ogive to make sure the bullet does not touch the rifling.
I did that and could not see any marking on the ogive. I took a new round placed it in the chamber and closed the bolt and this is the results. Small markings from the marker on the bullets ogive.
Should I be concerned with this? I’ll try to post a picture.
