Kimber Classic .308 with marked tight spot 2" from muzzle. Shot 1 1/2" on a good day. Kimber with same response, it's within spec. Theirs, maybe. Not mine.

23" Broughton 5C fixed that problem. Sub half inch.

I would be surprised if steel wool would fix that. Maybe a fired case with a little valve grinding compound would work. You might end up with a slightly O/S chamber but could polish out your sizer to match.
Too bad they make such nice rifles but Barney Google is the QA inspector.[Linked Image]

I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

Yep I bought a bunch of seconds from MWUSA when they were CRAZY cheap. With a moderately warm load of Hunter in my 257 AI it's shot & killed beautifully.

I really like that bullet.
