[QUOTE="Kentucky Windage, post: 242143, member: 429"] Lots of spring tension conflicting #1 and not allowing for any free play in the process of chambering, compromising the process. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] The 2 problems mentioned do not seem related to a single issue (jumping over the round AND/OR deforming the round when it does grab). Any chance you’re short stroking when the bolt doesn’t grab the round and when you deform the round it’s related to my first comment? [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] When a round is chambered from the box mag, the rim of the case will drop down slightly as the shoulder begins riding up the feed ramp to accommodate the angle at which the cartridge needs successfully feed. If there’s no wiggle room there, you will have feeding problems (deformed bullets) while chambering. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] As I stated before, when the bolt slides over the round, I’m betting you are either short stroking OR there’s a rail issue that need to be modified because it’s not allowing the case to be exposed properly for the bolt to grab the round. I’m basing this off of my knowledge of guns other than Kimbers specifically. [/QUOTE]
