you do infact without a dought have a tight chamber. thats jsut about the same dimensions I got out of mine when new.
Im suprised your were even able to close the bolt.
3 options....your choice.......1:get a small base full lenght die,(rcbs if you so wish) set the dies accordingly as per instru. 2: get a match set of dies (lots of $$$$)...Get a collet (neck sizing die) so you can use your fire formed brass on "your" rifle. the collet die resizes the neck only. saves time resizing, no lube, no mess, the life of the brass is extended.
providing that your case,s are cut to std. lenght, (me personally) would go with small base full lenght die.
I went down this rd yrs ago with my new savage and once i mic,d I realized that my dies werent "fit" for my savage,s tight chamber. double cking my dies for correct depth and settings. I purchased a small base full lenght die from rcbs and problem solved.
Im sure that youve cleaned the chamber thourghly as well.
Question....will your rigg chamber a brand new factory oem round with out any resistance?
