[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2055793, member: 10755"] Have gone through this myself. Two things spring to mind immediately, whoever chambered the barrel has left some burrs which haven’t smoothed out yet, and the throat is too short. I built my 338 Edge using a +P reamer and a turn neck, biggest carbon ring inducer I ever come across. Plagued me with all sorts of grief. I re-chambered with a regular sized neck .004” over regular brass and the problems vanished. Not saying you have a carbon ring, but a good look with a bore scope will tell what you do have or not. Recently sold that Edge for far less than what I had in it, just no confidence in it any longer. [/QUOTE]
