[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1727816, member: 48043"] You've never hunted a gumbo flat then have you... I'm very careful about my rifles, but 2 years ago I pulled a 7mm stw cartridge from my pocket and somehow it had a gumbo booger on it and bound up the rifle. I had already stuffed a couple in the mag so out the jamb went and the next one went in. I pulled that one and it showed that there was still a bit of that greasy crap in the chamber, so in went a shotgun mop to clean the chamber after I was done hunting at that spot. I still had a working rifle and probably could have chambered the first cartridge. As to accuracy, this rifle commonly dumps 3 140 Accubonds into 1/2 to 8/10 inch at 200 yards, even with its "loose chamber"... Incidentally that chamber was cut with a brand new Manson reamer...
