Coal gets longer and longer

I have a rifle that will do this. It has a completely torched throat. Its a 22-6mm. If the barrel is very dirty it will pull the bullet on a loaded round and leave it in the throat. Gotta get a new barrel, but I suspect the throats in the barrel. Carbon? Gunk? Shot out like mine? Mine will completely pull the bullet with proper neck tension and a dirty throat if the bullet is not crimped. Maybe find someone with a borescope and zero in on the throat.

New guns. And we cleaned them really well with everything. Borescope dot and they're spotless

Just so we're clear.....three different rifles all the same brand all three chambered in 300wm all pull the bullet out .005 upon extraction?

Is today April1?

I wish. He took them to a gunsmith and he said He doesn't know why and just sell them.

If they shoot ok just spend 10 bucks on a lee factory crimp die and be done with it. Don't change anything else about your load. Just crimp 1/8 of a turn and try it, 1/4 turn at the most.

I don't see where anyone mentioned the fact that it could simply be a compressed load. OP states the bullet is really far into the case, could just be that the OAL is growing due to a compressed load. Maybe it doesn't have anything to do with the rifles and that it might grow on its own, especially .005 that OP states.

I would say the potential for 3 rifles to do the same thing with a reload is slim. Has to be in the ammunition.

Are the loads compressed? Maybe the cycling and bumping is making the bullet move out because its too compressed?

Measured with 2 different hornady bto gauges and also tried it with measuring the overal length. I have fairly expensive calibers as well

Is this a typo? Did you mean you have "fairly expensive CALIPERS"? Like Mitutoyo Calipers as opposed to Harbor Freight ones?

LL! Now, that makes more sense. Disregard #28, I totally missed that.

Yep typo. Auto correct

Tried with completely empty case with no primer in and still did it. Black marker on bullet showed no scrapes. I'm going to try it again to see if I missed something the first 3 times.

That's what I suggested to him to try. Thanks

Any tension or do you feel scrubbing or resistance while closing the bolt?

I'd be calling Tikka, see what they say.
