    headspace on 308win new barrel

    Hey guys, need some advice on doing this little project.
    Cracked the factory barrel of the Rem 700 308 Tactical off and replaced it with a Kreiger that was previously fitted to a Rem700.
    Trying my luck with the headspace gauges.
    Real good fun, Go gauge went fine, and NoGo locked up. Yes, yes, I'm in luck !!
    But when I torqued it down.
    Go Gauge can't go anymore, headspace too tight? but tried some factory loaded rounds goes in and locks fine.
    Shall I try some of my resiezed brass from my redding die and see if it chambers fine?

    Where do I go from here, any experts to give me some directions?

    Cheers.


    Lee
