I recently purchased a new Remington 700 5R Mil-Spec in 308 Win.
Finished mounting the new scope and took it to the range to sight it in.
I fired 10 rounds of Federal Gold Medal Match168 Grain Sierra Matchking BTHP ammunition.
Every one of the 10 shells that I fired were extremely difficult to extract.
I tore a big chunk off my pinky finger where it banged against the scope while trying to extract the third round.
The rounds chamber and extract fine if not fired but once a cartridge is fired it jams in the chamber and is extremely difficult to extract the spent case.
I kept on thinking it would loosen up as I shot it but I finally gave up after 10 rounds.
Does anybody have any useful advice or input?
