[QUOTE="Ckleeves, post: 2418063, member: 83259"] I’m not exactly sure why it seems more prevalent in Tikka actions. I’m guessing it has something to do with the primary extraction or maybe the angle of the internal lugs to bolt lugs? The bolt design? I’m not a gunsmith. No the reamer hasn’t been used on factory tikka barrels, it’s been used to chamber other barrels on different actions. That’s the only reference I’m going by is that fired brass measures exactly the same coming out of different barrels on different actions chambered with the same reamer and the tikka actions click and the other actions don’t. I can take a piece of brass that’s clicking horrible in my tikka, resize it and shoot it in my brothers Winchester action and it comes out like butter even though they were chambered with the same reamer and the brass measures the same after firing. Same with my Dads tikka prc vs a Bighorn actioned PRC. Granted those are totally different action designs then a Tikka but it sure seems like there is something with the combination of a Tikka action and ADG brass and getting early clickers. The problem no doubt comes back to tight chambers and ADG brass being very hard and tough to size. But it’s odd how much more noticeable it is in Tikka actions vs others. Edited because I totally spaced one of the most important things I think is to blame: the 70 degree bolt throw has to have something to do with it. It’s doing the same amount of work in 20 degrees less then other actions. [/QUOTE]
