    Bighorn TL3 Extraction Issues

    Also something note worthy is today I did a little load testing to fine tune my load for an upcoming match. It was warmer than normal but I didn’t have any issues with extraction all though I notice my loads were on the hotter side by looking at the primers even though I’m at the minimum for...

    Correction there is about 0.018 difference the bolt head being that larger one.

    Bighorn TL3 Extraction Issues

    Use your dial calipers to measure the inside diameter of your bolt face and compare it to average diameter of your case rim diameters. There should be significant clearance. If the bolt face's diameter is slightly undersized it could account for you having the push forward on the back of the...

    Bighorn TL3 Extraction Issues

    I believe my barrel is torqued to 80 foot pounds and all of my brass has been fired from one rifle I bought it all new with each barrel when they were new.

    It’s hard to explain unfortunately without being able to see it.

    Bighorn TL3 Extraction Issues

    What dies did you buy to correct this issue? I never thought about that being the problem.

    Bighorn TL3 Extraction Issues

    They My match brass has 2 to 3 fire cycles on them and my practice brass has 4 to 6 firings, both batches have the same issue. They are match chambers but it could be work hardening of the brass like you said. I wouldn’t think it would be that sensitive but I could be wrong, I most certainly...

    Bighorn TL3 Extraction Issues

    I’d really like this action to work out but after a new extractor and new bolt head were installed in two separate cases I’m not so sure it will.

    Bighorn TL3 Extraction Issues

    For the 6 BR I’m using Lapua brass and for the 6 Creedmoor barrel I use Peterson brass. I’ve check head space with both Foster headspace gauges and PTG gauges they both seem to check out fine.

    Bighorn TL3 Extraction Issues

    If I put my thumb on the bolt shroud, push it towards the chamber and pull back on the handle as if I’m trying to spin the bolt out of the action in the direction of the ejection port and then cycle the bolt again it will then usual extract the spent brass.

    Bighorn TL3 Extraction Issues

    The extractor will come over the case head leaving the fired piece of brass in the chamber of the rifle. If I remove the mag, apply torque outwards towards the chamber as I cycle to bolt again it seems to pull the case out every time. But this is an issue during matches as I don’t have time to...

    Bighorn TL3 Extraction Issues

    I have a Bighorn TL3 that I’ve had for about 3 years now and I’ve always had some sort of extraction issue with it. I was sent a new extractor with spring and then a new bolt head neither of which seem to work. I’ve had two different gunsmiths one being patriot valley and the other a local...

    Where to get ammo now post

    What makes someone a good guy? A lot of people on here have been helped out by his posts. I do understand how as of late they have gone more towards something that should be on px but I wouldn’t classify people on here as “good guys vs bad guys”.

    Where to get ammo now post

    If you don't mind me asking what did they charge per case when you bought from them directly? I'm new to the bulk buying of .22lr ammo and would like to know what to expect for a price.

    Where to get ammo now post

    Does anyone know if you can still send you barreled action to Eley or Lapua to get it tested and buy a case or two of ammo?
