[QUOTE="jbs2014, post: 2122863, member: 94052"] Yes but not with just a custom barrel. I ran some Desert Tech Factory .375 Cheytac ammo through the stock HTI barrel and had heavy bolt lift, primer cratering, and ejector swipe in subzero weather. I also ran some federal .50 BMG ammo through my custom .50 BMG barrel. 1st round had extremely heavy bolt lift. Did not run the rest of the ammo. With the .50 BMG barrel I think it is a matter of having a short chamber. I now have a Warner Tool custom die that can set back new brass up to .005 less than my fired cases. Have to see if that works. is it possible that your custom barrel may be a bit short? unfortunately I was not able to chronological either of those loads. [/QUOTE]
