What barrel company? I had similar issues with my PVA, it wouldnt chamber rounds either after 80 rounds. Similar marring . I sent it back to them and they fixed it
Yea I'd take it to them have them check. My issue was the free bore diameter was under resized which was confirmed with a pin gauge. It was opened up a little and now it's fine.
]s were over pressure in my Tikka CM.Yeah even Saami spec chambered Tikka 6 creeds don’t see this issue. Something ain’t jiving.
Think that was a pretty limited batch which had screwy freebore. I talked to them about it. My PVA 6CM from a few months ago doesn't have that issue thankfully.
Yea mine was from last year's fourth of July sale and I know of a couple other guys that had Tikka 6cm from them around the same time with finicky chambers. they shot through it and never quite got as bad as mine. They made it right but it was still a pita, luckily my friend has all the tools to help me with it
When you say "shot thru it" what do you mean? Thx
well one guy who I pmd before contacting PVA who had posted about having issues with 108 eldms and his PVA switched to 105 bergers and said he didn't have any issues after. this was on the suggestion from PVA who said to try begers bc they claimed ELDM doesn't have the best qc and were possibly out of spec which is why they weren't feeding. pva also said if he sent it in and nothing was wrong they'd charge him for bench time. That sounded a little high and mighty and made me a little nervous bc I had just bought a case of 108s but when I contacted PVA ( dealt with Ben) they gave me no trouble and it was very easy for the "warranty". Sent me a prepaid label and said send it in. Once they got it, they checked it and confirmed tighter than spec freebore. they fixed it and sent it back to me and it shoots fine now with the same lots that wouldn't feed.
Very helpful. Thank you. I'm having my GS double check everything. He's a good dude so I'm sure we'll work thru it.well one guy who I pmd before contacting PVA who had posted about having issues with 108 eldms and his PVA switched to 105 bergers and said he didn't have any issues after. this was on the suggestion from PVA who said to try begers bc they claimed ELDM doesn't have the best qc and were possibly out of spec which is why they weren't feeding. pva also said if he sent it in and nothing was wrong they'd charge him for bench time.

Then my friend who ordered a 6cm from them same time as me had issues with certain ELDM factory lots. he eventually got other lots and it fed better, we chalked it up to a bad lot of hornady. This was before mine had issues though, so out of spec freebore wasn't really on our radar. if his gets sticky I think it's likely he will likely send it in for them to check and fix.
this was his thread.
