[QUOTE="twoftagl, post: 740170, member: 46908"] I've noticed my rem 700 shaving brass from I believe my extractor. It's a newer 300wm. Not sure if this is normal or not? Normally I wouldn't mind, but I think it's causing an occasional chambering issue. About once every 50 rounds or so I have a round that won't close in the chamber the last 1/8 inch or so (just prior to bolt rotation). I pull the round, no problems noted then try again and it chambers just fine. I think what I'm getting is those shavings getting behind the extractor occasionally, keeping it from expanding enough to let the cartridge around the edge of the extractor. Being unfamiliar with the extractor, does this sound plausible? Replacements look cheap, but not sure if I'm going to end up with the same (or worse) problem with some other brand, and not ready to have major bolt or action work done (yet) if other extractor styles require major work. Any options I can try? Chris [/QUOTE]
