Gun is new with sixteen rounds of Remington factory shot through it. Everything fine. Buys brand new Remington brass, full length sizes them...

He full-length sized brand new brass? Could he have oversized it and created a headspace issue? Lucky on the first one, not so lucky on the next...?

As drover said, perhaps an oversized bullet in a batch is a possibillity. I've had that before, but it was a .358 bullet among .264 bullets, so it was a little but obvious... smile

Was the second round difficult to chamber?
