[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2911255, member: 68758"] If you've got calipers or a mike, I'd check the cases just forward of the belt for the hell of it. Fired/unfired, Barnes vs Rem. I suspect perhaps the Barnes brass isn't springing back after firing as much as the Rem. Like I said, I'm hung up on the fact that you can break the case free from the chamber just fine with "normal" bolt lift- but somehow the case is still stuck after doing so. All I can come up with is the case may still be tight further into the chamber. The scratches are also puzzling- you'd need to section a piece of brass to confirm- but the case should still be pretty thick just ahead of the belt even though it's still supported by the chamber in that area. Trying to figure out why scratches on one type, but not another... I have limited experience with solids- but I've seen some barrels foul heavily from them. Existing copper fouling will exacerbate this- have you recently stripped copper from the bore? [/QUOTE]
