Custom 700 300PRC issues shooting it suppressed

[JAYgs8163]

My 300 WinMag Blaser (not as powerful primary extraction) with a GEMTECH ONE works just fine and cases are spotless.

My best guess is that after the bullet exists and the case has shrunk down, there is still enough residual pressure in the can to send some crap back between the case and the chamber. Rather like you can get with low velocity cast bullet loads (although the cause is different.

How long since your can has been cleaned ? IMHO something is keeping the gas in the can after the chamber pressure has dropped.

Can has less than 75 rounds through it.

Well then there are too many baffles or the holes are too small.

Try a 30-06 level load.

I had to get my REM 700 timed had very little primary extraction. Thats what i think you have ran into here also. You are right on the edge then with the added carbon from the can its not enough to break the case loose from the chamber.
If you do start loading for it switch to ADG brass its great stuff thats what i run in my 300PRC.

Negative! You are talking about the rings on the suppressed brass?

Yes. Sometimes small reamer marks on a chamber can cause big extraction issues.

The case you said was the hardest to extract has them the worst.

Couple that with a bit more pressure from a suppressor, a little crud from the barrel gases not evacuating, and poor primary extraction any maybe thats what you got here.

I think they are more pronounced looking on that case as it's also the dirtiest. Im going to take a chamber mop and really clean the chamber well. I'm thinking I'm going to send the entire rig to LRI and have them inspect it and work the bolt over. It's definitely got some primary extraction issues, i may also have them add a m16 style extractor since they are going to have it.

I also have 200 pieces of ADG Brass waiting for me to work up.

I had LRI work on a Rem 700 barreled action for me about 6 or 7 years ago. That outfit does fantastic work.

Were you shooting these rounds out of the mag?

 

[MagnumManiac]

I still think it's an over pressure reverberation causing the issues...and yes, I've just had to swap bolts on a RR serial number Rem 700 LR. It had ZERO primary extraction.
Luckily I have several spare Sendero bolts lying around, so I used one of those.

Cheers.

I bet if you had the primary extraction fixed your problems would be solved.
You should have around .010 between th bolt and bridge of action just about all the RR's have .050+
I think Cody is correct

I checked the primary extraction and it appears I'm getting 1/8" at best upon lifting the bolt handle. I need to remove the scope for a closer look. I checked the serial# and I do have a prefix of RR. Are you saying RR serial# is more prone to have a primary extraction issue?

Yes, the rr prefix are notorious for having very minimal primary axtraction. The issue can be made worse when an action is trued up.

Send it to LRI, it will fix it I bet.

 

[JAYgs8163]

Were you shooting these rounds out of the mag?

Yes they were fed from the mag. I've shot them mag fed and single fed.

Had the same issue with my 6.5ss. Load shot great with just the muzzle break, throw the suppressor on and pressure and extraction issues.

developed new load with suppressor on and issues went away.

Try lowering your powder charge and recheck, I do believe you are getting over pressure signs on primers

It's factory ammo. 2 different types of factory ammo. I will start low when I load the ADG brass up. Thanks
