Howa 20" Break-in

Yeah, I won't run that formed brass for anything special. I'll use it for range, brass, or planking or some of my cast bullet loads.

I gave the rifle a good clean tonight, and saw that the camming surface on the bolt and inside the action were both quite shiny. So the problem was probably a combination of the small bolt and a rough surface on the camming notch/angle. It's opening and closing fine now and pretty good or smooth with ammo.

My fire form loads did close firmly before they were fired. So fresh out of the die. But now, they have been annealed and resized and are going out of the gun exactly with the same feel as star line and hornady brass, I have. You cannot tell the difference in their feel alone.

Here is a short I did tonight.
