[QUOTE="fmuguira, post: 1896458, member: 27974"] A friend bought a Fierce Ti Carbon barrel 28 Nos and three months later got it figured out. ( Took some serious conversations between him and Fierce and a return to the factory) Gun shot well but a fired case stuck in the chamber every time. Fierce blamed the Nosler and Hornady brass, the Nosler was a factory load; Hornady was a reload. Asked how they shot their factory group and told ADG brass .... we didn't but that. After talking to both Hornady and Nosler tech the guy at Nosler, very sharp fellow, looked at some of the fired brass and said chamber had microscopic length wise scratches in the brass. His expert opinion was Fierce cut too many chambers with the reamer. Said he had 8 similar issues on Fierce rifles all in 28 Nosler. So, rifle went back and supposedly got their deep clean! Came back and improved/useable but bad experience for my friend on a $4500 rifle. And yes I kept cases from "before" the deep clean and compared them to after cleaning fired cases. Guess what, chamber ended up .001 - .0015 larger! They never confessed to what they did so personally no confidence in them. Good luck with your accuracy issue. [/QUOTE]
