[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 450501, member: 2693"] My 300 RUM was chambered by Shilen and it must be a tighter chamber because a lot guys talk about getting over 90 gr of Re25 with a 200 AB. Max in my rifle is 89.0 gr. I had a Lilja barrel installed on a rifle by a smith who didn't check the chamber. There was a CHUNK of metal out of the chamber and it left a good bump on the brass, making it near impossible to eject shells. Apparently, this is due to the type of steel Lilja uses according to some other rifle builders I've used. I've heard a few stories now where his barrels have done this type of thing. Sounds to me like the manufacturer did not chamber your rifle very well. Send it back. [/QUOTE]
