That said Ive found the Hornady ELD-M and SST are both 1½" ammo out of the box in my rifle and I can tighten that up considerably with loads tuned to my rifle using the same bullets.
Would this also affect the ability to extract?
I had a stove pipe when out hunting last fall and I checked the front block and I see some soot.
