Thank You I just ordered the head space adapters I already use the OGIVE gauge. I just got the Model 8 back from the smith he went right through it replaced the leather washer with neoprean and added the proper sling mount. I'm ready for bear season this fall.

I went back and found the post I had read about this. "Unseated fired primers on reloaded .35 Rem ammo? - thegreatmodel8.remingtonsociety.com" I also use that same round in my Marlin 336, which makes it hrd to determine which one is from which. Thank you for your advice on neck sizing as t...
