[QUOTE="jeff29414, post: 2146939, member: 117993"] Hey LNewton - I found part of the issue - the bullet (150 gr Federal Power-Shok softnose) will not chamber into the Browning. I tried seating it with the taper crimp in the cannelure at 2.690 and also seated as low as 2.680, but it still jammed. The AB3 doesn't like this bullet. I made a mockup with the Nosler 150 gr BT (my new hunting round seated so the crimp is in the cannelure at 2.741) and had no issues - worked smooth as silk. Just doesn't like this 1 bullet, but also the bolt coming out concerns me - If something happens and I have blowback that bolt coming at my face is a major concern - I mean it shouldn't because the bolt should be locked, but.... I still haven't heard back from the factory service center either and that is concerning to me [/QUOTE]
