I thought I would post this in here to see if anyone has any suggestions on what is causing this issue. I have a 308 18" UM barrel that will not eject live rounds before they are fired. It ejects just fine after firing but if I need to get the round out of the chamber I have to grab charging handle and slam stock on the ground a few times for it to eject. When the round finally comes out it is marred pretty good and has a deep spiral on the bullet near the neck. All my brass is 2.005 and my OAL is 2.800. It does this with every hand load I have made, about 200, and Hornady match and FGMM factory loaded ammo. It also won't group under 1.5MOA. It shoots 2 MOA all day but with the price of this barrel and the sub moa gauruntee, that's not cutting it. Check out this photo of a good round, then 2 rounds I ejected out of the chamber...
If anyone from Rainier wants to chime in or contact me personally my email is
