Merry Christmas Ladies and Gents!
This afternoon I took my LRI custom Remington 700 in 300win mag out to zero for the first time. I loaded up 3 rounds of Barnes Harvest Collection 180gr it was hard to chamber. I was thinking it might be some cerakote that needs to be worn down. I fired and the bolt was tight on extraction just as it was going into battery. As I pulled back on the bolt to extract the spent casing it remained in the chamber. I locked it home and tried to extract it, again to no avail it remained in the chamber. Like the idiot I am I didn’t bring a cleaning kit with me so I left my pasture and used a cleaning rod at my house to get the casing out. At the house I grabbed a box of Federal 185gr Berger Hybrids they chamber perfectly. I think it might just be the Barnes ammunition. What do yall think it is? I’ll attach videos and pictures below.
