[QUOTE="Sockeye66, post: 2395522, member: 113619"] OK, here it goes and we'll see if I can help, the rifle is new to you, was it a used rifle? If so, clean it very well so as to rule out any major barrel fouling. If it's a clean, stock rifle, meaure the base to ogive of the bullet to make sure the bullet isn't trying to start from a hard jam into the rifling. If I have this correct, the cartridges are factory rounds that you pulled the bullet, reduced the charge and reseated, did you reseat to the same length? When chambering a round does the bolt close easily? I have shot a lot of Speer bullets both the Fusion and Gold Dots (coated) and the Fusion do seem to create pressure faster than others. [/QUOTE]
