[QUOTE=".280AI Freak-Nasty, post: 2532316, member: 117997"] Thank you for your insight, I do appriciate it, I have not tried 180 yet I do not reload yet. The only factory ammo I have found for the 300 PRC is 212 ELDX and also 225 ELDM and when I found them on the mile-high sight, I bought 6 boxes of each. I shot 4 of the 225 grain and they were pretty hard to chamber and I almost could not get the brass to eject it was very very hard to get the bras to eject on the 225. the 212 were not near as hard to chamber but I have shot 16 of them through the gun so far and they are not near as hard to eject but still a little snug... When I contacted CA they told me I could send it in for a smith to look at or I could continue going through the break-in that they recommend is 6 shots and clean 6 shots and clean and that is what I have been doing. It also says in the owner's manual that it usually takes 50 rounds before the barrel will be broken in. some have said it took 60 rounds to break in on their CA rifles. It was the striations on one side of the bullet and so far that has been on every bullet I have chambered just not anywhere near as bad as the 212 grn bullets. [/QUOTE]
