[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1698584, member: 26227"] From What I remember from My professors at Lassen College, your posts here, and what I have seen over the last 12-13 years in Northern Nevada, I have something to suggest. Do you have a 222 reamer? if so, see if you get any metal off the front half of the chamber when you hand ream the chamber. I had a really finicky 444 Marlin come in with nearly the exact same set of symptoms. I reamed the chamber by hand and found out that the chamber had only been rough reamed and the finisher was needed to make the front of the chamber big enough to extract live and shot rounds. also, I have never used any grit rougher than 1200 to polish a chamber. I have gone up to 2,500 or 5,000 with phenomenal results on my 17 Rem. just my 2 cents worth of advice. [/QUOTE]
