He has fired factory 220 gr ELDX as well as his handloads which are all trimmed to length. The problem isn't with the loaded rounds going into chamber and closing the bolt on them its after firing, Bolt lift is normal but extracting the fired shell from chamber has become a problem, didn't happen on his first outing only this time.
