Hello all, I would be grateful for some guidance-
I have a Stiller Tac-30 action, Krieger 8-twist barrel, PTG reamer and "go" gauge, all in readiness for a .223 Ackley Improved build. I have heard from various sources that the chamber should perhaps be cut .003 to .004 below normal headspace to assist in keeping .223 Remington cases snug against the boltface when fire forming. What say you?
I have respect for the good folks at PTG, and wonder if their "go" gauge may already be configured for this short chamber approach, or, is such a chamber not required.
I would be grateful to hear your experience.
Cheers... Jim
