so therefore it has NOTHING AT ALL to do with headspace increasing size of case...cause the case hasnt increased in size YET..... it could be timing of bolt lugs into recesses??? or any number of other things any gunsmith worth his weight in goat turds should be able to sort.

please try one wee thing,loosen front action screw 1 turn and try again...my old model 70 would poke end of action screw into one lug of bolt till I filed it fly shit shorter...the screw not the lug....
