    I didn't. I just made sure that the extractor didnt touch the tenon or other interference. Luckily the tenon face om the tikka barrels allows about 0.010" clearance to the ectractor nose.

    0.25mm is a good number to aim for. Headapace is one thing. But the clearance on the bolt nose is very important too
