[QUOTE="Stiletto150, post: 1485655, member: 70044"] I have had a similar issue with 30WM factory Remington. They have a long freebore so I don't think you are touching the lands. I know from the skid marks on the bullet that you are catching it on the feed ramp. For me, this happens most often with the last load in the magazine. Kind of like single feeding. If I load the magazine with 2-3 rounds it often doesn't happen. Or if I work the bolt quick. I also had gouges running vertically at the base of the shoulder. I am working 210VLD's which might be longer but similar profile. Try to really..really clean the throat. That can cause excess chamber pressure too and fitment issues. You can really tell if you pull the firing pin and close the bolt on a round. You should have minimal pressure with factory loaded rounds. A gunsmith might be able to polish the chamber a little. Sending it to Remington probably wouldn't get it back in time for your hunt. A gunsmith with a borescope will be able to look at the neck and throat of your chamber and get some ideas of what's going on. [/QUOTE]
