[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 595942, member: 34084"] It's possible the chamber was reamed wrong, but unlikely in a factory rifle. Yes, ogives are different for different bullets. You should use a comparator. You can tell if you're jamming the bullet into the lands. Mark the bullet ogive with a colored marker - dry erase works well. chamber the round, remove carefully and inspect for marks on the ogive. Based on what others have said, I would also carefully inspect the action screws for tightness and the muzzle crown for damage and/or uneven powder residue. [/QUOTE]
