Well. It was a primer issue. No compound...

Good old Winchester/Olin strikes again.

The extractor should hold the round back against the bolt face, letting it strike at square one on a bolt action.

Well. It was a primer issue. No compound...

That will definitely do it.

From the people who make ammo for our war fighters?

Let's hope quality control is better at these 3 plants.

I agree. I once tried to help a guy who couldn't get his rifle to shoot less than about 12 MOA at 100 yds. He had me fire 3 rounds - two were a half inch apart, and the other was about 8" off. I gave him 5 rounds of my 308 reloads, and he shot the 5 into about an an inch. He then bought a bag of the range reloads, and out of those 20, had no further problems.
