just received new 38/55
I just received my new 38/55 SS. I purchased 2.125 Starline brass from Midway. Untrimmed brass will not allow the chamber block to close. Brass trimmed to 2.108 will allow the block to close with force. Brass trimmed to 2.104 will allow the block to close normally. Is this normal ?

Sounds like you have a modern chamber. 2.085". I was just checking my chamber length because some of my brass is showing signs of having grown.

I do use the modern chamber unless otherwise specified.

Re: just received new 38/55
Will it be OK to use the longer brass trimmed to fit the shorter chamber ?
