Are you using Loctite 242, by chance? If so, try Loctite 243 and let things cure for at least 24 hours before shooting. Maybe Vibratite VC3 (apply to threads, let congeal for ~15 minutes before screwing) would work better? https://greaseexpert.com/loctite-242-vs-243/

Short Action Customs is taking a poll of what sizing die they should make (next?), and 300 PRC is in the running. Take the time and vote! Vote for 300 PRC here Full disclosure: I did order a seating and resizing die from them last week. Other than that, no affiliation. I liked what I saw...

I'm quite fond of my ARC Archimedes, barreled in 300 prc.

I've read it's the same as a Rem M700, but the coned bolt nose prevents one from using a Remage prefits.

I love my Wiser Precision mount. Shortened the hollow carbon tube, and fashioned an "adapter" (foam and gorilla tape, with a zip-tie pull tab) that keeps my clearance rod in there. It's a grab-and-go one piece situation.

May need to capture samples, and see if you can sniff out the common denominator.
