[QUOTE="Bobby-Long, post: 2040606, member: 116407"] My one and only experience with a CA firearm showed brass flow and sheer in the ejector holes with factory ammo as well. It also had an extremely tight chamber and was difficult to get once fired and sized brass to chamber. It was the tightest chamber I had seen on a factory rifle. Some factory rounds wouldn’t chamber. I would like to say however, my Ruger FTW in 6.5 Creed did this with the first 5 shots from the gun when new. I was very alarmed by this, so I went home and disassembled the bolt to inspect the machining and tool marks on the bolt face closely. What I found was very small burrs at the edge of the ejector slot. I then took a small piece of 600 grit sand paper, smaller than a cm square, and a dental pic with a little oil and cleaned up the edges. The next time out shooting, the heavy bolt lift and ejector marks were gone. I don’t know if that is what is going on with yours but it might be worth a look. [/QUOTE]
