I'm stumped...bolt won't close

Defiance action with Bartlein barrel. 175-ish rounds on it. I bought it used (safe queen bought 10 years ago from customer maker and hardly used) and I have only put 15 rounds on it. Original buyer had 160 rounds on it.

All of a sudden the bolt won't close on factory 140 ELD-M ammo. If I really force it, it will barely go, but it takes an insane amount of force. When I extract the round, there are marks all over the bullet (see pic at end).

My handloads are all 140-ELD-M. I made one just for grins with the same results. It will chamber and extract new or fired brass no issue, so the binding is definitely at the bullet. Remainder of the action is smooth. It runs fine with nothing in it obviously, and it ran factory ammo last week no issue. But this week not so much. Can't see anything obvious with the bore camera.

This is a new box of ammo...maybe these bullets are slightly larger? It will cycle factory federal 6.5CM ammo and leave only a light mark...

Is the solution to have a gunsmith just run the reamer in on a clean-up pass?

What upper receivers are you guys using to get a good thermal fit?

Until recently, my goto stripped upper receiver was the BCM blems. A while back, I ordered half a dozen of them. They all worked fine for various rigs and provided a good thermal fit. When I ran out, I ordered 3 more.

Of those 3, two were unusable. One was so tight that I couldn't even get the lapping jig in, much less the barrel, even with liberal use of a torch. Once I got things together, it shot like crap. Gotta imagine there was a whole lot of stress.

On the other, the charging handle, no matter which I used, kept reciprocating.

So, what else is being used to get a good thermal fit?

M40 needed a Greenie

So I picked this rifle up a couple months back from a fellow hide member. I followed the build thread on here and had to have it once it was posted. So I grabbed it, took a week or so to get it, threw it in the safe next to the other members of my M40 family. All was right in the world..........................................so i thought. My anxiety wouldn't let me forget it would look much better with a Redfield Greenie on top. So after searching to the end of the internet for a source on a greenie I was empty handed. This is where it escalated quickly. I started researching anodizing, it didn't look too hard. I had to figure out how to get a priceless accurange Redfield apart. After tearing down a couple cheap ones from eBay I was ready to give it a shot...............................................Below is the result of an insane amount of research, destroying a couple scopes, fabricating some tools, mixing chemicals in my garage, 5 gallons of sulfuric acid (I have to be some kind of watchlist now from buying all these chemical), possibly some tears, lots of Bourbon, and somewhere around 100 gallons of distilled water............................oh and many weird looks from the wife when she saw me looking like Walter White cookin shit up in the garage. I finally got a decent greenie for the M40. I still think this is too bright green, may try adding some black to the dye and doing another one. Let me know ya'lls thoughts. pretty pumped that it turned out green at this point.

Kudos to Desert Precision

I've been shooting a CZ 457 for a couple of years now. Shortly after getting it, I upgraded to. Lilja barrel and did several modifications to make the rifle suit me. Somewhere along the lines, I lost my OEM extractor.

As some of you may know, some OEM parts for the 457 are as rare as chicken teeth. Since losing the original, I've tried 3 other extractor sets, none of which worked and all of which needed modification to get some semblance of function.

As a final resort, I finally got my hands on a Talon Extractor from Desert Precision Gunworks. The extractor worked very well, but I still had problems with ejection, so I sent DSP an email.

I didn't just get an email response, but got a phone call from Kenny himself. He took the time to walk me through what to try and assured me that if it didnt work, we would get it working.

Given what customer support usually amounts to these days, I just felt compelled to say something after this experience with Desert Precision.

25x47 Lapua load data

I'm in the process of switching one of my 6.5 Creedmoor rifles to 25x47 Lapua. Does anyone have current load data for this cartridge? 135 Berger LRHT bullets, and I have 6.5 StaBall, Varget, H4350, AA4350, IMR 4350, Superformance, and SW Precision powders.

I've also never used bushing dies before, and when I sized a case the neck didn't size all the way down to the shoulder. I'm using a Hornady match FL bushing die with a SAC .282 bushing. Is this normal? New Lapua 6.5x47 brass.

Who is using a Bix and Andy in a Vudoo?

I have been using TT Diamond 2 stages in all of my rifles now for awhile. I just had a TT stop working correctly in a Vudoo and after talking to my gunsmith briefly on the phone he recommended I try something different. I had no idea I was possibly leaving accuracy on the table with my trigger choice. He spoke highly of the Bix. I want to try one of their 2 stage triggers. Who has ran one and what sear did you use? Did you test any other sears? This will be on a Vudoo 360 to be clear and definitely will be a 2 stage.... Join me as I travel further down the rabbit hole lol
