I use to blackn with a lighter now with a tip from a member i hacksaw down the neck to create a split and chamber a round this way and measure i did it about 20 times to make sure and am confident iv got it very easy very fast. I was getting a false feel for the lands with another rifle and it just wouldnt shoot i was about 160thou off where i thought lands were as soon as i changed bomfa i had a shooter . 300 seems an exclusively long freebore id try another method youtube has a good video about closing the bolt with the firing spring removed and going by feel also another good way. Thats just on 300 difference from adi to what your getting aswell so id say somethings playing tricks
