If anyone is still hanging around this thread, I have an update. We’re finally getting somewhere on it. The reamer that cut my chamber is out of spec, pretty bad. Supposedly it’s on its way back to Rich and then back to the reamer manufacturer. I’ll loose a little barrel length to clean it up...

I have a question for you 338 Mega shooters. I have one that is giving me problems and I'm looking for the source of the problems. It's seemed that my neck shoulder junction isn't forming like it should to my chamber, but possibly it's forming like it should. I had expected more of a sharp...

If you’ve got any N560, you might try that as well. Seems to be pressuring out early. Even a little slower single base powder might give you better velocity. It’s shooting good though. Nilgai medicine!!!

I haven’t tried 2 die sizing yet, but I will this weekend. I’m gonna get plenty of pieces to work with, instead just a few.

That’s still a possibility that’s gotta be tried

I haven’t, but I will try it now, after learning my problem is still there. I’m gonna fire more this weekend and I’ll use that nosler die first and then see what bumping will do

If anyone is still hanging around this thread, I have an update. I may have jumped to gun. The problem still exists. A completely different fire form load that's forming much much better and I'm back to having to bump .006. The one thing consistent is the distance I've got to be is from base to...

It’s a controlled round feed. I think but not completely sure that the extractor pushes the brass again the chamber wall and hooks it to keep it up on the bolt face. This appears to be what’s causing the gouge in the extractor groove. I might try honing that little point down. Right now, it’s a...

Oh yea it does. Gotta get the brain repaired 🤣. Might be the hardest thing to fix 🤣

Thanks and I will do.

So I got out yesterday and fired some more rounds, and today I took more careful measurements, and notes. I'm not at home near my notes at the moment, but I can tell y'all what I found. I pretty much knew this a few days ago but waited to get a chance and confirm my suspicions. This has all been...

I’m pretty sure I know what the problem is here guys. I’ll fire some more rounds this weekend and let y’all know.

I have some barrels with the throats torched out of them laying around that I will experiment on first hahaha

This makes sense, and I’ll do that, thanks

I have done these 2 steps
