[QUOTE="woods, post: 550190, member: 6042"] Seems like Remington are getting sloppier and sloppier in their factory rifles. Sounds like the 25-06 has a bad chamber since the bulge is on "one side" of the case and the 300 WSM has excessive neck clearance. If the bulge all the way around the case equally then it would just be a large chamber but since it is on one side then the chamber is reamed wrong. The neck will split if it has to expand too much before it hits the chamber wall. JMO but some pics or measurements would help verify it. Pics of the 25-06 bulge and measurement of the OD of the neck on a fired/unsized case and the OD of the neck on a loaded round. [/QUOTE]
