Thanks for all of the advice. I'm coming to the conclusion that the bullets are seated out too far for my rifle and are jammed against the lands. I will put this to the test at the range. I plan to blacken with soot one of the bullets and chamber it to see if that's the case. I also plan to seat the bullets in about 10 rounds 1/10" deeper.


Regards,

Chuck
