300 rum

[rick smith]

Shootist, if you weren't so busy trying to make cuts, you would realize that all the suggestions I made were in fact useful in the quest for what was wrong with your brother's rifle.
There were no snide little comments, if you took them that way, that is your problem not mine. Operator error-probably the biggest problem with people shooting hard kicking rifles.
Clean the gun-some start shooting their guns after taking them out of the box, don't bother to clean the packing lubes off the rifle.
So many shots to learn nothing-think that one speaks for itself.
Inferiority complex, not even close. Lashing out, I wouldn't waste my time on such.
You think the rifle had a chamber problem but only by taking one measurement. No other investigation? Did you ever think that might not be the problem? Guess you just couldn't be wrong. Talk about inferiority complex.
I was trying to add useful information to the discussion, all I said could be used in search of the problem but you were the one who first displayed an attitude and are now trying to throw it off on me. You need only to look in the mirror for the one with a problem.

Once again you display your gross ignorance and arrogance. I posted to this site to point out information about a factory load that apeared to be hot. I did not post to explain all the issues that the proven to be defective rifle had and all the steps and several cleanings that you assume didn't occur. I further didn't go to the trouble to explain that the mounting job done by the store of the rifle scope was poorly done and just a little to loose for the 300 rum. I didn't explain that several people shot the gun looked over the gun and ammo and came to the same conclusion. Of course you in your infinite blowhard wisdom professor would have discovered all the problems in one shot and a chamber casting. Then you would have cleaned the chamber to remove the void space in the chamber. What pertinant information did you hope to discover with your chamber casting that wasn't already discovered, documented and accepted by the seller as fact. I can't help it if you are so hypersensitive and insecure that you can't accept a little jab but I'm beginning to understand it better all the time.

Shootist.....
Again, after reading the "complete" posting for the 6th or 5th time, I fail to see where Rick is coming out of nowhere here. He was only sugesting attempting to pinpoint the root cause. Ok, he didn't read two post above and see that Sportsmans Warehouse took the firearm back.... big deal.
This is a great forum and has a lot of information for us all to learn from.
I don't belive any of us come off superior or better than thou....
It would have been interesting to actually see what the issue was with the rifle.

Shootist, didn't know we had to be mind readers to reply to something you posted. You are correct, I didn't know those items because you chose not to post them. Don't think your insults are getting anywhere with me. You do not have what it takes to insult me. I tried to explain to you why I posted what I did.
If you can't understand why I suggested a chamber cast, you need to do some more readingI will not reply to any more of your dribble. Learned a long time ago not to argue with fools. They pull you down to their level and they have more experience there.
Have a nice day.

No, Powerstroke,rick is a blowhard. He is the know it all type that likes to hear himself talk even when he has nothing to say. rick assumes what serves his purposes and then spews his advice in his own subtle condescending way. ricks assertion that it's probably operator error and a dirty gun causing the expansion of the brass into the void reamed into the chamber wall is laughable. rick assumes that my brother shot "that much ammo before seeking help"because it makes rick feel smarter. rick says "Most of the rifle problems I see are due to operator error. Not saying it isn't the rifle but what you write points me in that direction" Just what point's him in that direction...rick needs to feel superior. Nope, rick's definitly a blowhard, and has proven it throughout each and every post since I first tweeked his smug little ego. enough about the small man. As for what was actually wrong with the rifle. That has already be established and is clear. The chamber has a groove reamed into it by the bit on the chamber milling machine at the factory. It usually happens near the end of a production run before they replace the worn tool steel. It's a subtle flaw that is usually caught during inspection, but occasionaly they get out the door this way. A chamber cast would reveal the flaw but if you already have proof as in the brass all bearing the same expansion ring, then casting the chamber is redundant and unnecessary. especialy if you have already proven your case to the satisfaction of the seller of the gun and received a replacement.
