update so far.
You have a couple options to check chamber dimensions without gages. The first, and very rough estimate, is to put a couple layers of masking tape on the back of a factory loaded cartridge and try to close the bolt, if it closes headspace is highly suspect. Another method is to obtain some Cerrosafe (Brownells is a good source) and follow the directions to make a cast of your chamber to measure. There are other ways as well, but these are inexpensive and will give you a fair idea.
