Thread: 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.
