I did find that 55gr of Imr 4350 under a 180gr anything will make big holes - which led to excited feeding which led to awareness that something wasn’t quite right.

Be well buddy!

POC, I kinda just got into the Montana's and Dave7mm mentioned using a little STP Oil treatment on the lugs, and I mean just a small bit on the finger tip. Besides lubricating the lugs, a bit of it got on the rails and probably on the follower and man, it smoothed up feeding in all 4 of the Kimber SA's. When I first started running them they were rough as a cob comparing them to 70's..

Give it a try, only out 5-6 bucks..
