Not sure what to think about this barrel, the UPS guy just dropped off 200 rounds of Hornady 108's. I took measurments of the round and 20 out of 20 in the box measured 2.245-2.246, pretty consistent measurments.
These rounds chamber and eject just fine, so the problem seems to only be with the 105's. But what I can not figure out is why my hand loaded 108's would stick in the chamber. I need to take some more measurements between factory and my loads. The ones I loaded were with Hornady 108 grain ELD's which is the same bullet that comes factory loaded.
I would like to see if other folks with other brand barrels have the same problem with the 105's, I heard initially that the problem was across the board with all barrels. That is why Hornady changed the COL of this particular round. I have 1000 of these bullets but really don't want to load any of them until we have more info on them. then again I have plenty of 108's to get me through untill they release the new fangled bullets.
