Gentlemen, let me start by saying I've been lurking and reading on the forum for years soaking up information. well now I need your help. a little background on the firearm I bought the complete upper from a vendor at a So Cal gun show. the barrel is a 1-9 twist SS Bull Barrel but there are no other engravings on the barrel (I have it off right now)so I don't know who made the barrel. I bought it 3-4 years ago never shot it, with a lack of time with my wife's health issues it ended up in the safe, well my wife is better and the Grendel found its way out of the safe.
after reading about short chambers and factory ammo getting stuck in the lands I decided to make a cerrosafe cast and have a look for myself, i found that a couple sets of lands all but run all the way to the brass, leaving no free bore/jump at all,i also found that the American gunner ammo with finger pressure will get jammed in the lands as well as the 123 gr sst Hornady, having to pop them out with a cleaning rod, Im going to post some pictures and see what you guys think and is there anything I can do to remedy this problem. two pictures are of the cerrosafe cast, two pictures of an American gunner round after coloring with black marker and inserting them with finger pressure and two pictures of a 123 gr sst round after coloring with black marker and inserting with finger pressure both had to be pushed out with a cleaning rod. you will the two sides on each round where the marker rubbed off at. both rounds will chamber and the bolt will close but they both get really stuck when I close the bolt on them.any help on what I can do to fix this issue would be appreciated..
