What's the earliest you've developed a carbon ring?

I have a 300 Norma that I had chambered by a very well respected smith. The rifle has approximately 25 rounds of factory Norma ammo loaded with 230 gr bergers. Late last deer season I shot a nice 8 point late one evening and left a loaded round in my chamber when I put my rifle back in the safe...dumb I know. I remember the bolt lift was VERY stiff so I took a pic of the brass (included below). A few days later I went to eject the round and the bullet stuck in the chamber while the casing ejected and flung gun powder across the garage. I tapped the bullet out very lightly (pic below) and the bullet had what looked like some corrosion on it. I did not own a borescope at the time so I cleaned my rifle well and put it away for the summer. A few days ago I remembered this whole debacle while I was putting something away in the safe so I grabbed my Norma, put a round in it, and the bolt felt hard to close. Could all of this be from a carbon ring, or are my problems a bit more serious? I have ordered a Teslong bore scope and it should be here in a few days, just thought I would start this thread and see if I may have something more serious on my hands.

ETA: got the borescope in and checked things out. Not as bad as I expected at all, and got it mostly clean. I’ll see how it shoots in a week or so.

Frequent Removal Of Bedded Action

Looking to possibly have some work done on my rifle which would include a different stock and having it bedded. While the rifle is at the smith I was going to have him chamber me another barrel in a different caliber as well. The rifle is an origin action so I could use it like a switch barrel setup. Does it affect the bedding over time by removing the rifle from the stock frequently? Is a chassis a better choice for this? Or maybe I just turn it into 2 rifles...

New Long Distance Shooter

Good evening!

Thank you for allowing me to join the team. I’m a U.S. Army Officer and I have been an expert shot for quite some time now. I have a few questions:

1. I am looking for my very first ELR rifle. I love firing my AR and I have never shot past 300 meters. Call me crazy, but I want to start shooting out to a mile. I’m looking into a .338 Rifle. Is this too much, or should I start out with another rifle at a smaller caliber and get used to shooting out to 1000 yards?

2. I have been looking at scopes. What is the absolute best scope for ELR? I’ve done a ton of research but in my opinion, experience outweighs research. I found Leupold and Burris have really good options between $700-$1400.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to learning from you all.

Cheers,
Mark

Tripod field shooting with magnums

Does anyone have any tips on shooting harder recoiling calibers from tripods? The rifle is a suppressed 300 norma that is about 18 Lbs with an arca rail and rrs anvil tripod. I usually shoot an old school .308/hog saddle setup with no issues but this has been a bit harder to manage. If you had to do a standing shot would you shorten the front leg to move the tripod center forward?

Im guessing this is over gassed?

Im at 42.9 of varget (1.1gr below book max) on a suppressed PSA rifle length, rifle buffered LR308 firing hornady 178s. Its destroying the rims. Lantac enhanced bcg and superlative arms block opened all the way. I even threw in another tungsten weight in the buffer for a total of 6.4oz. Rough chamber maybe? I scoped it once and don't remember seeing anything out of the ordinary.
