Bear Creek rises to the top

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.

This is your third one, correct? That is ridiculous. How can they say they test fire them if a factory round won't function correctly in it?
