[QUOTE="linksmechanic, post: 321772, member: 7317"] Thanks guys. Without more testing on the range let me give some more info. The bullets are way off the lands. I was using these cartridges in a tc icon with a box magazine and I know they are quite a ways off the lands which i will correct on the next reloading. This load was super mild in the t/c so I was surprised to see the heavy bolt lift in the ltr. Also the primers appear to be flattened on every round shot out of the ltr. The same bullets shot out of the T/c are not. you can tell the entire case head is being forced into the bolt face and the primers are rough looking do to the finish on the bolt face. None of these issues are apparent on 25 rounds shot out of the t/C icon. I gotta tell you this is super frustrating. I bought the gun in a whim. It is brand new with a 40x trigger which is strange. I bought it as a quick backpack/brush guns and now I have to screw with it. The brass was all trimmed to the proper lenght before loading. The only thing I notice on the necks is slight ding from extracting the rounds. I will check my freebore tonight and post results. The thing shot real nice with some junk white box winchester ammo and had no sticky bolt issues. I wonder if this thing has a tight chamber or neck? Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
