[QUOTE="Kiwi Greg, post: 1898206, member: 13456"] The Rem 700 doesn't have a high surface area cam like the Defiance for instance & isn't as aggressive. With the brass constantly being tight in the chamber the cam would probably be being overworked until a case is stuck, then something has to give & the extractor is overworked damaging the brass. Previously when the chamber was cleaned & lightly polished the problem disappeared & the rifle functioned as it should, returned to the happy customer, then over time the problem comes back again. This problem has probably been happening for the life of the rifle with the bolt handle showing signs of being repeated hit, the last time it was fixed the bolt handle was tig welded in place with plenty of heat so it wouldn't try to come off again when abused The brass is just dirty from use, doesn't appear to have been cleaned after after multiple reloads, when fired the residue on the cases will be pushed onto the chamber [URL=https://s1004.photobucket.com/user/Kiwi-Greg/media/IMG_5381_zpstr3pevnc.jpg.html][IMG]https://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af161/Kiwi-Greg/IMG_5381_zpstr3pevnc.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The Suam case has a much larger surface area & less taper than say a 223, 308 case so all these problems are amplified [/QUOTE]
