Thanks for your input and info - I'll try to get a decent pic of the inside of the chamber as there is a definite "ridge" which appears to be located where it would meet the mouth of the casing and the "trimmed cases" do seat deeper in the chamber. I have tried this chamber fit procedure using casings from original DWMs to new Starline brass and some older Winchester rounds I scored . I really appreciate having so many knowledgeable firearm enthusiasts making suggestions as on my pension I can't afford to send it off to a reputable gunsmith.
Like Arnold says - "I'll be back!"
Thanks again Bruce
