[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 2911782, member: 72440"] Well, I thought I would try the 7mm PRC rifle got the Ruger as I was not sure what I would think about the caliber. I really wanted a Weatherby 7mm weatherby magnum with the right twist rate to shoot the heavier bullets. Got the rifle for a birthday present bought several boxes of the precision hunter 175 grn ELDX. A week later was zeroing/breaking in the new rifle. While shooting some of the Hornady rounds definitely were hotter than others, bolt felt gritty after what seemed to be hotter, unloaded, cleaned and wiped down the bolt, and continued to zero, had several more rounds that seemed hotter and then bolt was hard to extract the fired round from the chamber followed by grittiness, unloaded and repeated the same procedure, last 5 shots a bit of an MOA at 100yards. But upon cleaning the rifle some cycling of the bolt felt gritty, although the bolt appeared clean. Contacted Ruger, rifle now with them for repairs. Contacted Hornady and now my shot box of brass and the unshot box are with Hornady for evaluation. I thought I had the lot# of ammunition. I will provide any updates as I hear back.
