[QUOTE="LRRiflemanSNJ, post: 1078890, member: 87689"] This is an update to my original post. I fired my first F Open 1000 yard match with this rifle without any glitches. After talking with Paul at Sierra last week, he diagnosed that the once fired brass that I had used in my initial loads was old and had lost elasticity. This was brass that I had purchased. At my match, I used the following recipe without any glitches : new Hornady brass CCI magnum large rifle primers Sierra 168 MatchKings 65.4 gr of IMR7828 This load has to be tweaked, but functioned flawlessly. I didn't experience any difficulties extracting spent cartridges. Almost all shots were on paper, with the few misses (4) being either lost getting on paper, or fatigue on my part. For a 60 shot for record match with unlimited sighters,I consider this to be acceptable performance. Thank you to all that shared their experience to help trying to resolve my issue. gun) [/QUOTE]
