    Well guys seems like I’ve fixed the issues! Went to the range couple days ago shot 50 rounds with no problem, only 3-5 rounds had slight heavy bolt lift since I was shooting some fast strings and the barrel was pretty hot. Just seated the primers in my 3x fired casings an hour ago and all primer...

    I size all my casings before I wet tumble with couple drop of dawn and limeshine.

    I’m still not 100% sure if that .001-.002 headspace would’ve make a difference. Hopefully I have time to do another range session next week with my 2nd fired casings, and I’ll report back with how tight my primer seats and if the issue still going on.

    some pictures of measurements with c375 bushing and d400 bushing, fired casing hand tight vs torqued to 80ft lbs. I clean my barrel every 180-250 rounds after initial break in. For my cleaning procedures, I run 1 wet patch of bore tech then 5-7 dry patch, then 1 semi wet patch of hoppes9...

    Aw sorry for your buddy that has the same issue. What has he done trying to fix the issue? What was his headspace like? Measurements of casings after fired? Well after I heard from you I take my word back on 80% issue fixed, more like 60% now lol, imma keep testing with my 2nd fired casings and...

    If you read my previous post, I was already suspecting that my action spec is off and already had longer head space than it should. Regarding the under headspaced factory load casings, I believe there is a max tolerance allowance for that, but I don’t know the numbers, mine were just excessive I...

    I’m no expert at this, but my theory is that it had too much bolt face to case head clearances, so ones the round fired the casing slammed backwards against the bolt face, also at the same time pressures blows back out from the primer side, it’s pretty much a fails pressure sign.

    Good news! Seems like 80% I’ve fix the issue! Loaded 20 rounds of 41gr and 20 rounds of 41.5gr charge to the range today, shooting at 300-800 yards. Only 5 of 41.5 gr charge has slight heavy bolt lift and ejector mark, but extracted like butter, hammering a 1 moa target at 600-800 yards fairly...

    When my fired casings were at 1.565 i always bump it back to no less than 1.563. It didn’t help at all..... few of my 4x fired casings had primer came off the casing after firing..... it scared the shit out of me lol

    That’s exactly what I’m thinking it is. Let me do more testing on Thursday to confirm, becuase usually my issue shows up more on 2x-3x fired casings, and for casings that are 3x fired, 20 out of my 50 casings primer pocket will become very loose.

    Will do thank you sir! I’ll go home take some pictures of the tools I’m using and measurements of the casings tonight. Looks like I have to order a set of go/no-go gauge

    I was using the .375 bushing for my measurements. I’ll use the .400 bushing to measure my virgin and fired casings tonight and see how my measurements compare to yours.

    I think i did kind of fix the issue I had, but not 100% Went back to the range today with my barrel that cut to be hand tight torqued down to 80ft lbs shot some 41gr and 41.5gr charge. Shot ten 41gr h4350 charge at fast rate of fire in less than 1min, Bolt lift and extract like butter on all...

    I absolutely agree with you! Paying premium price for these actions with mediocre features that’s what makes me not happy lol.

    Curtis Custom Actions (Vector)

    Thank you, and I do understand that barrels that cut to be hand tight for the vector has little more headspace, but on mine after few handred rounds it became a little excessive lol, and I’m pretty sure I tighten the set screws over 30inch lbs. My first barrel was from keystone accuracy, when...

    Curtis Custom Actions (Vector)

    Thank you for you recommendation, as for now seems like the problem has gotten away and I don’t wonna go through the hassle of sending the action and wait. I’m going to torque it down to 70-90ft lb and hopefully that can tighten the headspace another .001-.002 then will do more testing after, if...
