Picked up a sauer 100 in 6.5prc, had a tikka before (same caliber) perhaps I should've stayed that way. Anyways, adjusted trigger which is real nice, mounted a scope and headed to the range.
Had 2 boxes of new Federal, 120 (trophy copper) and 140 (bonded soft point) grainers. Unfortunately neither ammo would chamber, removed scope, still no luck (thought a screw may have been protruding). That was yesterday, this morning, I visited my friends at Benchmark barrels, explained the situation, obviously I brought the ammo in question with me, we tried again no luck, they brought out some new Hornady factory, viola chambered no problem. Mic'd the federal at the neck, .295 for the 120 and. 2935 for the 140, hornady 143 .291, body dimensions approximately the same. I guess these rifles have an extremely tight neck. Just fyi., will see how it shoots next.
