well boys yesterday was the first day it was cold (28-30) and not doing something wet....so i took the grendel out for a spin ....
first round out it puked....what the heck is goin on here...cleared the rifle and next round puked...this test was with the 95gr v-max bullets...deliberate..yes...so for sure the cold has been and is still a problem....
after the gun warmed up it did seem to get better....but a couple times the bolt was locked open and the case was stuck in the extractor...i had to literally pull the case off the extractor....so i think i still have a problem with the extractor...although it does not seem to hold onto the rim of the case when i have it off the bolt...so not sure what is going on with that thing but before i take it out of the rifle again i am going to lock the bolt open and see if i can make a case stick on the bolt to see just where it was or is getting caught
it is running better than before when it was cold...but we aint there yet....heck it may never run these 95gr bullets consistent...well when it is cold anyway...ran them fine the other day when it was in the 50's
i'll be back...lol
