[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2417453, member: 30902"] If that's the case I had a .260 AR barrel with a similar issue. On advice of an old gunsmith in the area I ran a .250" copper rod through a hole centered in a fired case up to the neck and made it a permanent fixture with some epoxy. I then attached it to a drill and bathed it in lapping compound and slowly worked it into the chamber for about thirty seconds at a time before slicking it up again. It was a slow process and after checking it periodically after hosing it out with gun scrubber using a piece of 3x fired brass as a gauge things limbered up a bit. Took it out and shot it, still had some stickiness but much less and strangely only on the first round. Repeated the process. Been running great every since. To me this sounds like an Issue Tikka should fix but since it's only reloads you've having problems with I doubt they will so you might want to discuss having it reamed or polished by a GS to see if you can improve on the issue.
