wll- I stand corrected- for some reason I was thinking too much headspace. After re-reading your post, mongoosesnipe is correct, you received an out of spec go gauge. Do you have a comparator bushing (.330) to measure case head to datum line?
Then you would know for sure if your go gauge is bad. (what brand were the gauges if I may ask?) If the new Lapua cases chamber with just a tiny tiny bit of bolt handle resistance (compared to closing on an empty chamber) and then won't chamber with about .002 of tape on the case head I would think you are fine... but it never hurts to triple check everything. Hope everything turns out great on your "Grendel-age". Sounds like a rifle that even the wife & kids could enjoy & will be super accurate!
Keep us posted.
