[redhob]

having trouble chambering ppu 22-250 remington in my winchester 70 featherweght, very hard to get bolt closed down.any one else use same round in similer gun.

Got any others to compare?

Is there any fresh marks on extracted chambered rounds?

If not and your sure no rust ring has formed in the chamber take them back!

Those winchestets are a brill rifle but they love to rust! See a few of those fantastic rifles ruined from insuficiant protection.

Do they extract ok before and after being shot

Are there any commpresion marks around the case or on the base near the primer

 

Have you cleaned it recently and left some fluff off a patch in the chamber, just a small piece of thread will cause that.

Do other brands chamber ok?

 

Im sad to say some Privi has exhibited excessive headspace requirements in my experience, notably 308 150 softpoint whereas 308 168 match chambers easily and i have experienced this in several 308 rifles

 

Damn, I use a few of these but no issues so far, I hope this is not going to become a problem!
