Failure to eject - Defiance Ruckus - 338LM - heavy bolt lift

Do you have a headspace comparator to compare the base to datum dimensions of the cases before and after firing?

First of all do any of the cases show signs of excessive pressure such as ejector marks?
I realize that you are using a light load but you still need to check that out.
Secondly are any of the cases show signs of not sealing at the neck? Lots of soot at the neck or even dents inwards on the shoulders?

I would take a few of the cases that have been now been fired in your rifle and measure the base to datum length then set your full length or body die to push the shoulder back 0.002” then try them again.

Rifle Scopes Vortex Factory Defect...?

Most of your issue appears to be vertical stringing which made me give a closer look to your photos. Your scope is sliding forward in your rings, if you look closely at the photos you can see the mark forward of each of the rings. On those heavy Razors you should be going a little higher than the normal 18 inch pounds, I usually go to about 22 inch pounds on mine.

New Rifle: Seekins Havak HIT

One of the very earliest Seekins HIT in .308 and is extremely accurate with factory 175s Federal and Norma Golden Target. It does even better with factory 185s from Federal and Berger. Picked up an OEM Seekins 6.5CM barrel from a member here along with some Hornady 140gr BTHP (American Gunner), and is just as super accurate. POI shift is .25 up and .75 left. Couldn't be happier with everything.

Tested four different barrels for my LMT 5.56mm MRP today, unscientific findings inside with photos

Thanks for posting.
I've considered taking the dive into this platform. Kinda confirms a custom tube is needed for what I want it of it.
Yes, the platform itself is outstanding, but I wasn't able to achieve the level of accuracy I wanted from OEM barrels.

Fortunately, D Wilson can convert any AR barrel for a reasonable price in a reasonable time. I'm very happy with both conversions he did for me.

The Bartlein barrel hammers, and the Daniel Defense 14.5 is solid too. I run the DD when I am shooting primarily inside of 300, and especially when training up close with a lot of high volume fire. I don't feel guilty about burning that thing down.

Here’s a 10 round group with the Bartlein:

It’s gotten pretty old seeing it everywhere since he mentioned it. It’s atleast 7 years old and posted 7 times a day on boomer Facebook pages🤷‍♂️

Well, that explains it. I don’t do facebook.

I would say get a life, but you’re pretty busy pointing out all these little tidbits of facebook wisdom.
