Just an update. I talked with Browning yesterday about my rifle and was told that a gunsmith at Browning inspected the rifle and found it to have a rough chamber. After polishing the chamber and checking headspace they test fired it and had no issues with the test firing and the brass looked...

Where the line is on the fired cases measures .511” and the unfired cases measure .507”.

Thanks. I’ll check it out

Interesting. I have never heard of this but will do some looking into it for sure. Thanks.

Thanks. I’m hopeful too

That would be alright too

I sent the rifle back to Browning today and I’m really curious to see what they will say about it.

The brass started at 2.610” and after firing now measures 2.615”. The primers in the Peterson brass don’t show any cratering and don’t look bad, however the primer in the separated Hornady case does look pretty flat and there is an ejector mark as well.

I purchased a new Browning X-bolt Western Hunter long range in 300 win mag 2 months ago and have been having issues with it ruining brass. The first case was a hand load of 67gr of IMR 4350 Hornady brass and 168gr amax and resulted in case head separation. I thought maybe the brass was getting...

Shootersproshop.com has 140gr. Accubonds w/cannelure in stock right now. They are sold as blem rounds but I don’t think you would be disappointed with them. I have bought many of their blem rounds and have not noticed anything wrong with them.

I have the Browning Xbolt western hunter LR in 300 win mag with a 26” barrel and I run a Nomad 30 can on it. It does make the gun long and I have thought about cutting a couple inches off the barrel but I haven’t convinced myself to do it yet. It shoots really well the way it is so I’m just...

I agree with this. It may not be an issue with the brand of optic being used. May be in the way they are being mounted.

Thanks for the advice. I have a few pounds of H1000 so maybe it’s time I revisit this bullet and give it another shot. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I did clean out what I could get but I didn't save any to see if it would ignite. I'm pretty sure now that it is just left over blasting media from the factory and nothing to worry about.

No unburnt powder in the barrel and none in the cases. As far as velocities I've only seen about a 75fps difference on some occasions
