Rem 700 help.

[soap]

Just got back from the range. The gun was Amazingly accurate. With cheap ass ammo. But when I switched to a more expensive brass case ammo Bolt would get stuck when trying to eject around. Several times it has happened But when I go back to the cheap ass Steelcase the gun functions Smooth as butter.

Has anyone else had sticking bolt issue with rem 700???

Oh. I'm embarrassed to say but. I placed two boxes of ammo by the muzzle. And forgot to move em. When I went to change my target I noticed a huge problem. Both boxes of ammo have exploded. Not some going off But as an cardboard box they were in being destroyed. From the blast pressure of the Muzzle. Lol.

Tight chamber or out of spec ammo.

That's not how that works.

Placed a round in the Chamber by hand. With the bolt all away to the back I then tilted the barrel up. And the round just fell out of the breach face as it should. Does this mean anything?

No. What kind of ammo Whete you shooting and did you try other brass case stuff.

[soap]

CBC m80 ball ammo. The box does not even specify What Grain.
I have not Tried different breast case ammo.

I've Inspected Spent case. I do not see any signs of extractor scarring. Or any other kind of damage to the cases. I Tried to take a picture but it's dark and my camera does not pick up lowlight very well. I I even took the ball and didn't complete tear down of it. The bolt face in the extractor look perfect. Cleaned and oiled and reinstalled. I'm done shooting for the next 3-4 months. That will Give me an opportunity to stockpile ammo for my A.R. and experiment with different 308 rounds.

That's still cheap ammo, dude. All M80 should be 147gn, BTW.
