[QUOTE="itchytriggerfinger, post: 2050830, member: 24854"] th: It is marked 1:10 twist. I verified it, it is very close, maybe a hair faster at 9 7/8”. vance: I want to be absolutey clear, I have not reloaded any Ammo yet, everything that has been fired has been factory. Also, I did buy two different brands of brass, Federal and Norma. If and when I do load these cases, I will work up a load for each case to find the preferred load for each. I am also positive that fluid in the gun is a non issue. After cleaning, I run several dry patches, followed by mopping the chamber and cleaning with alcohol then let dry. I am sure the combo of a tight chamber and short throat are causing the issue, I just didn’t expect commercial ammo to run this hot. I am considering pulling several of the Federals apart, backing of the charge by 1 1/2 to 2 grains and shooting them to see what difference it makes. The only other option I guess would be to send it back to the builder and have it rethroated. [/QUOTE]
