[QUOTE="redandwhite72, post: 705047, member: 50863"] I bought a new browning a bolt in 300 rum here this spring. I also got a new vortex viper scope to ho with it. When I got it I did the shoot clean shoot clean for the first 10 then clean every other for the second 10. And used barnes factory loads. Well I had extremely bad extractor marks on the casings So I sent the casing back to Barnes and talked to browning. They said to send it to them to check over. Well it took them over 3 weeks to even get it in the system. After that a couple of days and it said ready for shipment. Well they won't tell you what or if they did anything to it. I think they checked the head space and sent it back. Anyway, while trying to sight it in over the summer I didn't have very good luck.
