Does anyone KNOW the difference of how much a 7mm Rem Mag case increases in length between an unfired case and a once fired case? My Savage 111 increases .021 from unfired to once fired. I ordered/received a NO-GO gauge, removed the extractor and ejector from the bolt head, inserted the NO-GO gauge and the bolt does not close, so technically speaking, Savage could say that the headspace is ok.
