[QUOTE="therifleman556, post: 1456536, member: 101898"] I had the same issue with my 7mm LR. You can identify if it's simply a rough chamber by taking one of you fired casings and coloring the entire body of it black. Next, run that case in and out of the chamber a half dozen times (just open and closed with the bolt handle should be enough). When you pull the case out, there will be a shiny ring around the case where the issue is. You could also fix it yourself with a 3/8" or 7/16" dowel. Cut the dowel just long enough to reach into the chamber. Then slot the end of it about 1" long so it will hold a strip of sandpaper or Emery cloth. Using your marked case to visualize where the issue is, run the drill at a moderate speed in and out over that area. Clean, and retest with a new fired case. I'd use 180 or 220 grit. Don't try to polish the chamber, there needs to be some grip. All you're doing is smoothing the imperfection. [/QUOTE]
