im going to have to pay attention to that next time im at the range. thank you.Graymun, I have seen with a lot of cartridges, especially ones with long COALs, they don't extract/eject the same with loaded rounds as when ejecting empty brass. I think the nose of the bullet sometimes drags the chamber wall and that tends to push the round back down and away from the bolt face. Are you having the same issues when you eject fired rounds???? I hope not....
