since there's no build forum anymore, that i can see anyway, I will post here...

I screwed a barrel on to one of my axis actions. I only had a go gauge. I tested many many times between the go gauge and the go guage with a piece of scotch tape on the base (no go gauge flamers can start replying now. I tested after I locked down the barrel nut as well. everything seemed fine. It would close fine on the bare go gauge, and it would have resistance with the tape. of course, if i pushed harder, it would crush the tape and close.

so yesterday i decided to do more testing. I have a few different brands of factory ammo that I decided to test chamber yesterday. Every brand worked ok except for CBC. I will say that hornady (and maybe another)closed with some resistance, but they all closed except CBC.

What should I do? get a no go I know, but before that I mean. Is my barrel on a tick too far? or perhaps my headspace is on the tight side which from what I read is a good thing.

thanks
