Started doing the barrel break in on my new CA Ridgeline FFT in 7mm PRC. The first six rounds shot and ejected fine and then I ran a patch of solvent, followed by ten double-strokes with a nylon brush, another patch of solvent, followed by a couple of dry patches. Rounds 7-42 were quite different. They had a heavy bolt lift, extractor/bolt face marks on the brass, very little to no primer flow but very hard to cycle. If i was reloading i would back down on the powder, however these is factory ELDM and ELDX ammo. What should i do now? Rifle was shooting about 1MOA at the end of the day. Would cleaning cause the higher pressures? I wouldn't think factory ammo would be over pressured. Do I just keep shooting or contact CA? TIA
Factory ELD-X Rounds 1-9 after firing R-L, extractor marks more prominent after cleaning after first 6 rounds.
ELD-M rounds 13-24 grouping at about 1MOA in the end.
