[QUOTE="Kiwi Greg, post: 1897707, member: 13456"] Thanks for the replies Guys It is a 6.5 Saum, this rifle has a Shillen #2 or similar profile barrel with carbon stock & easily shoots sub 1/2 moa & always has, quite impressive for such a light rifle. It doesn't appear to be overloaded, but I don't have access to the brass, which has only been fired in the rifle. I can't get a bore scope into the rifle as I don't currently have it. It wouldn't easily extract two bits of fired brass I got back with the rifle at one stage. I realised the brass was dirty & probably the chamber was as well so gave the chamber a clean & quick polish with Autosol, after which the dirty brass extracted flawlessly I think after a year or so the chamber is dirty again possibly due to cleaning fluid contamination or water etc (this is a hunting rifle) or the stuff off dirty brass being forced into the chamber again, seems to have be happening since the rifle was built The owner is adamant it is solely a primary extraction issue I find this hard to believe considering the brass was left behind in the chamber when the bolt was opened & hit back, In my opinion no amount of primary extraction will help if the case is stuck so firmly in the chamber that the rim is torn off or the extractor cams over it, requiring a cleaning rod to remove it from the chamber ? Your thoughts ? Can the Rem 700 primary extraction cams be hurt/damaged by repeated abuse ? [/QUOTE]
