My wife has a Christensen Mesa in 6.5cm with a CGS Hyperion K suppressor that she was shooting yesterday at the range. She shot 5 rounds with her preferred hunting round (factory Nosler 140 grain Accubond Trophy Grade) to check zero for her upcoming early season cow tag. She then switched to shooting factory Nosler 120 grain ballistic tip bullets. She took maybe 10 shots, during these shots she had one misfire. Then she decided to switch to shooting another rifle and I went to put the rifle in the case as she was done with it for the day. When she handed me the rifle we heard a rattle and we shook out two primers that were somewhere in the rifle. I called my gunsmith and he said sometimes that happens and perhaps the barrel is dirty and that could be causing higher pressures. The rifle was clean before shooting and when I got home ran some Butchs Bore Shine through it as he suggested to make sure there wasn't excessive copper fouling, he said this would show as heavy blue coloring on patches. There was some blue but not what I've seen on other rifles when cleaning. I have very little knowledge and hope someone can tell me it is perhaps just a bad batch of ammo or something larger at play I should be looking at. Thanks
