[QUOTE="5RWill, post: 1400386, member: 98561"] There’s something to note about leaving a the 6.5 SAUM dirty for a couple hundred rounds similar to a match rifle using nearly half the powder. Depending on what powder you use you could build up a carbon ring in the throat and spike pressure. Seen examples of this from Ledzep on the hide who cleans his every 100rds or so or he gets buildup. Also in the FB group. Especially shooting suppressed (which could be the culprit). I’m not saying that’s your issue, i don’t think it is. I’d just monitor it before i ran 400-500rds down it without cleaning considering the amount of powder your burning. Truthfully i think it’s stems from H1000 as it’s sooty and filthy. As to your original problem. Idk man. I would wipe down that chamber with a dry patch. Maybe even go so far as to take the barrel off so you can really get it clean. Another question. Do you lube your bolt? If you lube you're bolt body really well and have rounds in the magazine it can pick up lube off the bolt body and that could be the cause. I'd clean everything down to it being completely dry. Take a Q-tip with CLP line the lug raceway and a dab of lug grease on the lugs so they don't bind, and go from there. [/QUOTE]
