[QUOTE="raven1776, post: 701380, member: 31474"] I recently purchased a Remington 700 sps in a 300 RUM. I have been loading 210g Berger VLD's with Retumbo powder at 89.6g. I recieved the suggested powder weights from Berger directly. They show 82.5g as the low and 92g as the high. I load at 3/4 load. I have shot probably 50 rounds of this ammo with no problem. Yesturday I went out to check my zero for a hunt tonight and tomorrow. I took one shot and the case jammed in the chamber. I had to beat the bolt open and pry the case off the bolt face. I took the rifle home, cleaned and inspected everything and did not find anything that looked out of whack. I thought that maybe it was just a bad load so I went out and shot one more round and the same thing happened. Is there a chance that maybe the action is going bad? I am very tedious when I reload calibrating my scales every 5 rounds. The last shot I took had severe blow back from around the bolt. Any help is greatly appreciated! I bought the rifle brand new about two months ago and only have about 70 rounds down the tube. [/QUOTE]
