I need some help. I finally got around to reloading some light rounds for my type 38 carbine and went to the range. While the gun shot very well and printed on paper instantly, when I took the rounds out to inspect I found the case had really stretched out just above the head which I likened to a military loose chamber, but the primer flattened and looked like it was trying to push out. I tried two different powder charges and got the same results on both and they were the lightest charges, so I dare not shoot the other rounds. Since I find that nobody makes a headspace gauge for this caliper, what does a guy do ? The gun shops in my area are retailers not gunsmiths so they are useless. Do I buy and try different bolts, reload even lighter rounds ? I have never had this so I am not sure which way to go, so again, I need some help !
