Q, what possible reasons are there for a 308 cartridge to stick?

ideas pls?

If it's the old Omark I had, yep if you run hot loads for it, it doesn't like extracting.

It is a very fast rifle, factory blue Federal 150s go 2950 ish IIRC, I put 6 into 10-11mm or smaller :cool:

So you don't need to run it hard, it's extremely accurate got approx 1.5" group at 800 ish with it, with FMJ Lapua.

It has about a 30" barrel that has got fine turning marks on it, looks as rough as, but man it can shoot :thumbsup:
