Gunsmithing Yeah OK I'm an IDIOT. Did I unscrew my 338NM bolt 3 times or 4.. 700 firing pin protrusion

So like the title says I'm a **** idiot. We all have these moments and this one is mine. Being that this is a VERY expensive rifle and I don't have a need to blow myself up what should I do to fix this issue?


I thought one full rev and counting would be enough but now I'm freaking paranoid LOL.. Seemed like a shit ton of gap between the bolt and receiver once back together. I'm thinking I could go three rev's back and go to the range fire it and if that produces a light primer strike i'll just grab my lace and turn it down once more. Thoughts?

The threads are corse enough and the fit is close enough that it will either allow one more full turn or not.
Try to make another full turn and see what happens if it makes it plus a little then that is it.
OR
Let the firing pin come out of the cocked detent and fall into the fired position , you will either see the firing pin sticking out of the bolt face some or not. If not then you need another revolution on the thing.
If it does stick out you can use your depth mic or back end of dial calipers to measuer just how much firing pin protrusion you have
