    Headspace and firing pin protrusion. You should find a spot between .035" and .044". If you take you calipers and measure the length of the lugs on the Bolt Head. Post it here. The PTG might be shorter by a 1/16th which is not a problem. This is why resetting the firing pin protrusion is critical.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
