GPM.

Yes possibly GPM,
All the brass chambered in Micky Ducks rifle and I could get them in mine with a hard push on the bolt handle. After Micky adjusted the die down half a flyshit they chambered in my rifle just fine.
I have a Weatherby vanguard, not sure if they are known to be tighter than other chambers. I thought standards were made so things were made the same.
