Close, but no cigar.
I broke down and got a box of Hornady Black to see how they chambered in this third upper. Takes a light mortar to pop it back out of the chamber. 123 ELD Hornday Black factory sticks in the throat and leaves a scuff ring around the ogive, but no rifling marks. I still believe that it is all due to BCA using worn reamers or reamers not to SAAMI spec to begin with.
I keep hearing how nobody has any problems with BCA until they get a Grendel from them. That tells me it is all in the reamers that they are using and not necessarily just their product overall.
