    Tikka T1x not extracting fired cases

    Upon further review it appears there is a bur from dry firing. I can’t get a picture that really shows the bur, but I can see it and feel it with a small Allen head run across the spot. I’ll report back after I’ve used the swage.

    Tikka T1x not extracting fired cases

    I don’t really have the capability to do pictures that show my chamber very well. When one of the kids can help I’ll try. Is anyone familiar with using bolt shims?

    Tikka T1x not extracting fired cases

    It’s every case. Three different manufacturers. The only dry fire the rifle has seen is after cleaning, pulling the trigger after cleaning for storage. Would that be enough to dent the chamber? How would I check this and what is “ironing?”

    Tikka T1x not extracting fired cases

    Tikka T1x will not eject a fired case frame the chamber. Approximately 500 rounds fired from the gun. It was fine for a while, but started leaving fired cases jammed in the chamber. It will extract non fired rounds, in chamber. Bolt has been cleaned, chamber cleaned. The extractor won’t go over...

    I worked at the institution that program was at. It was very difficult to get in and any disciplinary action would bounce dudes right out of the program. That included being late one single time. Dudes I met were squared away and recidivism was 0.0.

    CWD question

    My hunt was in Utah. Seriously though if the meat is processed without cleaning the equipment EVERYONE is exposed. It kinda makes no sense.

    CWD question

    I just got the call from DNR that my deer had CWD. We had it processed at a place that did a great job, but also processed with two other family members so all our meat is tainted. I called the meat processor and they told me their equipment doesn’t get cleaned unless there is a species change...

    I’m stuck

    One last update. Went to the range again yesterday and had two groups that were about 1/2” at 100 yards. I would say this problem is solved. Thanks again for the help!

    I’m stuck

    Took the gun down to barreled action, put it app back together and double checked torque. I also loaded some 165 TSX and 180 TSX rounds with 4831sc. My control rounds were the previously mentioned 4451 load with 165 TSX’s. The previous load shot about the same as I had experienced before...

    Funny thing is this gun has always fed really well. The accustock was fine and the new mdt stock with ai mag feeds perfectly.

    Great suggestions. I’ve done all the scope stuff, but I’m going to start over. Do you think the powders I’m using are too fast?

    If you could see me shoot you’d know I’m no bot. Maybe a broken bot…

    Not the scope, I had a MK5 on it and now a gen 2 razor. I changed the mounts when I did that. @Aftermath fortunately mine was free. Well it’s not now, but at least it started out that way.
