slopoke36 Report post Posted November 10, 2010 I got a buddy that has a (.300 win mag/ Rem 700 SPS) that has an issue ejecting an expended round. It will not grip the casing and leaves the shell in the gun. I would say this happens 1 out of every 6 shots. Any ideas on what is causing this to happen? We tap the shell out using a cleaning rod it comes right out with little force if any at all! So, I don't think it is a pressure issue. Also, we are using store bought Federal ammo 180gr NP.

Mike S Report post Posted November 12, 2010 Remington extractors have a tendency to take off little chips of case rim which can interfere with proper operation. Before you start replacing parts, go ahead and give the bolt face/extractor area a good scrubbing with solvent and a toothbrush. If you have access to an air compressor blow it dry, even better. Good luck, Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffro Report post Posted November 13, 2010 Is the plunger sticking out, or is it stuck down in the bolt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
travist1 Report post Posted November 29, 2010 Just a good idea some gunsmiths will take your bolt and machine it to use a sako or a popular ar-15 extractor that works great and they usualy lap in the bolt to make sure there is a min of 80% contact on the lugs. but like they said give it a good cleaning and have a go at it (cause if its not broke dont fix it) And jeffro i think they are having a problem with the extractor not the ejector because it is leaving the case in the chamber not on the bolt face.
