Shame it won't function at all. Kimber has the potential to have a unbeatable product. But they have to stop the bad ones from going out the door or gladly correct any issues with the ones that come back.
What's odd about this is that all Kimber rifles pass proof load testing followed by function testing before leaving NY. With the Hunter that means that at least four rounds are fired and extracted. This issue would have been caught and remedied at the factory ... how else could the rifle have passed proof and function testing? There are some aspects of a rifle that can be missed during assembly and final testing, but you need proper extraction to complete the firing part of the testing process. Anyway, I hope this gets resolved and you're back to shooting small groups with the Hornady ammunition.
