[QUOTE="BigSky!, post: 2365351, member: 10003"] I figured I would respond based on the input provided. First, yes, 147 grain ELD-M have been most tests. However, we borrowed several different reloads from a friend of mine and have the same problem with all, even shorter rounds. My friend allowed me to clean the bolt (carb cleaner/brake cleaner) without disassembly. He didn't want to void the warranty. Anyway, the problem remains and, in my opinion, it is a weak ejector spring. Hopefully we can get a replacement from Bergara. Since empties eject find, with a couple of exceptions, I'm guessing a weak spring combined with the weight of the loaded rounds, is the problem. The extractor doesn't look bent in any way to the naked eye; but, I guess that could be the problem also. Thanks all for your input. [/QUOTE]
