I started with .321 bullets, have upped it to .323, but guys at the range noted something on the fired brass that lead them to believe headspace was the issue. I haven't loaded up and shot the .323 yet.

Headspace Issue with 1893 Marlin
I have a 1893 Marlin 32-40, I got it from my father in law, he has passed away. I want to get it shooting, and have cleaned up the bore, loaded up some blackpowder equivalent loads, but had tumbling. I got different softer bullets. I do have headspace issues. How do I fix that?
