[QUOTE="tmoxley, post: 1703999, member: 107288"] My rifle setup is a stock savage 10 fcp in a manners stock. No work to the action or barrel. It has shot 3/4 moa since I got it from the factory in 2016. I went to a long range shooting course the other day. Midway through the course I went to eject an unspent round from the chamber before moving to a different position. When I pulled the bolt back the casing and powder came flying out and the bullet remained in the barrel. Some instructors tapped the bullet out with a rod and chalked the issue up to a dirty gun. I took the rifle home and cleaned it up with wipe out. As far as I can tell the barrel/ chamber are now free of carbon/copper build up; however, when I chamber a round I still have to apply a decent amount of forward pressure on the bolt to rotate it. When I extract the rounds they come out easy but the bullets are marred. The worst thing is, I think it has been doing this since I bought it, but I never thought twice about it. Should I be concerned? Is it possible the chamber is a no go on sizing? I have tried it with FGMM and Israeli razorcore with the same result. [/QUOTE]
