[QUOTE="Ucsdryder, post: 2312866, member: 94543"] I loaded up some 180eldms for my 7saum for my elk hunt. I test fed all of them and they all fed fine. Opening morning I load up and they won’t load. The bolt went all the way forward, but the handle wouldn’t close. Finally I found one that would close with significant effort. Here’s what I think my issue was. I have a suppressor with 300-350 rounds through it. Every time I would take it off and bang it on the table a bunch of black “stuff” would come off. I assume carbon? I think that carbon got dislodged and fell into the action. The action looked dirty and although I didn’t have a way to clean it, I ran a twisted paper towel up into it and it seemed to come out pretty dirty. When I shot my bull the case came out with some black stuff on the shoulder and it was just really dirty in general. More carbon I assume? Am I on the right path here? [/QUOTE]
