When I contacted Kimber they said that gun should in no way act like that and they wanted it back to see what's up. Even if the bolt is slamed forward and back open it will let loose of the round and won't kick it out. Do it again and it may kick it out 3 ft so I'm lost on that one. I don't mind sending it back but they said it would be a 10 week turn around because they are behind. So that's a bummer. They said when it returns it will have test targets and they will state what ammo was used to get the results. I will defiantly try some hornady ammo when it returns.
I had similar experience with Kimber 7 years ago. Mine was a 257R Kimber Select. Beautiful rifle but first trip to the range the rifle was basically shooting everywhere. I sent it back. They replaced the barrel and returned with with a nice group on a target. It's been a great shooter since. It was aggravating ordeal but Kimber took care of it so i give them Kudos for that.
