shot out 30-06 should it be rechambered

The goal is to have the bolt close snugly on the go gauge once the barrel is torqued in place. You want to feel the gauge as you close the bolt without having to force the handle down. I normally torque at 90 ft-lbs and that means that I wont feel the gauge when I close the bolt on a hand tight action.

do this test, with the action hand tight on the barrel and no headspace qauge in, close the bolt and see how much movement it has forward and back, there could be 0.010 or even a bit more depending on the action. Now put the go gauge in the chamber and if you are chambered at the right depth, this back and forth movement should have been reduced to 0.001" to 0.002"

The shoulder area always looks rougher than the sides when you look down the chamber, but it doesn't mean that it needs polishing. I would never go and retouch or polish the shoulder unless I had fired the rifle and found that there was a problem with the chamber. If you had the right pilot and the rest of the chamber is fine then the shoulder should be good and your job`s done.

Some friends and I tried the 300 win out today,the barreled action was attached to an H S Precision stock, it hasn't been glass beded as yet and fitted with a 6-18 Bushnell trophy series scope that has been residing under my loading bench for the past 20 yrs.
We were shooting Remington factory ammo.180 gr. core locs at 100 yards the first couple of groups were around 1 1/2" then one of my friends shot a sub 1/2 moa group. he's the only one who said he didn't mind the horrible factory Remington trigger. my next step is to adjust the trigger if notreplace it and work up some hand loads to see what kind of accuracy can be wrung out of it. I think it looks promising at this point.
I was checking out Stocky's web site and came across the Hawke sidewinder 30 sf scope It sounds like a lot of scope for the money, any one have any experience with it? I like to return the Bushnell to it's resting place under the bench.
