No i spelled comprehension, as in this little conversation is over comprehension failure. Or possibly lack of clarity on my part. If your poking fun at your intentional freudian slip then touche. Thats actually pretty good. We laugh alot at how easy it is to not quite get the actual gist of what...

Edit:And i guess i should have read your reply a little closer, miscommunication it was. Interweb communication lacks personality and inflection. And removing the needlessly confrontational illustrator i inserted into this reply :\ No what i said was this, pouring money into that stock v6...

Screwing a prefit barrel on a savage to have a reasonably accurate, easy to clean barrel, that has the potential to be a great shooter that extracts well, and doesnt have to be timed MYSELF, is a lot cheaper than pouring tons of money into a remington action. Thank you for calling bull. Im...

I have rifles built on stillers, defiance actions, and one built on a rem 700 La. I wont ever build on a remington action again. It could just be my bad experience and not normal but i have extraction problems with the factory rem extractor, had to have it timed, had to pay to have an...

As title says, please let me know if anyone has a new bag of 300 rum brass in the remington brand. Or knows where i can order some online. Or new unfired bertram 338 Edge brass. Thanks Bishop FOUND SOME THANKS!

I am going to shoot it with some rem brass within a week i hope. I hear you but crap, this smith makes f-class rifles that are competetive at the national level. I felt like i should give him the benefit of the doubt, and had to give him the opportunity to correct the problem. He is a site...

Results of the fix, still waiting on some Remington brass to try in it, but smith says rem brass works fine in the chamber now. Nosler stuff seems to be slightly thick at the neck, like 1-2 thou it seems , and its expanding too much at the web. Dunno, will wait till i get some remington brass...

The plan as of right now is if it cannot be polished, or otherwise fixed. A new barrel will be chambered and installed. Downtime shouldnt even be bad since he said he has quite a few Brux .338 barrels in stock.

Ok guys thanks for your input, its being taken care of.

I am waiting on a e-mail back from the smith now, i figure he will fix it, so there is definately something wrong with my chamber i guess. Its making hard contact at the neck/shoulder junction as well. Im using redding bushing full length dies to size the new brass. Running a very mild...

Old rifle, new brux barrel :\

Thanks, that might be my problem then. So its possible I might need to have this chamber "cleaned up", or polished in some way?

This is a chamber on a sendero, is this how it is supposed to look? The rings normal? I am having sticky extraction issues, and am trying to narrow down the exact problem, possibly thinking the brand of brass i am using might be a bit thick. But then i noticed rings on the brass and...

Looking for accuracy from factory rifles can be frustrating, sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you throw money at a rifle doing everything you can trying to avoid sending it off to a proper smith for a proper accurizing, and get nothing in gains. My advice if you really want an accurate...

Update- Got a call from Shawn Carlock today, he has a pretty substantial amount of Bertram 338 edge brass coming. No ETA at this time but it is coming.
