Hi,
I just got my new Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5MM Creedmoor.
In about 10% of my bolt cycling to feed a round in the chamber it ends up in either:
No round being chambered (round stay in the magazine). When it happens, a scratch is visible on the brass
or round being wrongly picked up + jam + bump in the brass. Removing the magazine, replacing the round in the mag and it works well after. The bump is "removed" once fired since it expands.
Someone at the range had the same rifle but in 308 and had the same problem. He was feeding the round manually instead of with the mag to bypass the problem.
I wrote to Ruger about it and I am waiting for an answer.
Does anyone else have this problem ?
The canadian version 18006 instead of 18005 came with metallic 308 mags that are hard to feed instead of the one that they have in the states. I Wonder if the problem is just with this specific model of mag or if it's a design problem.
They are so hard to feed that the 9th and 10th round are getting scratched and bumped sometime.
Since it was my first day at the field, it was brand new full sized brass. The problem with filling the mag may be worst the next time since the brass will be bigger, I will do a neck size only.
While waiting for Ruger's answer, I was wondering if many people had the same problem.
Thanks in advance
