Should only need it done if using small rifle primers. You don’t need it going from .308 to 6.5 or 6 creed if they are using large rifle primer brass.

I’ve heard this as well. I’ve also heard that it helps even with large rifle primers. Perhaps in the process headspace always gets checked as well?

OP, it just occurred to me, but if I were buying a bolt replacement I would certainly look at Mack Brothers before dealing with PTG.

Good luck and please let us know what ends up solving the issue.

Well, that certainly is more interesting than a wardrobe malfunction…

Whatever… The Boondocks Saints was playing on another network. Not even a close decision!!!

Well, I'd rather have a SAUM. However, to answer the question. Whether or not I have lapua brass does not shake me anymore. I waited nearly 7 months for Lapua 6BR brass to come out and while I waited I used Peterson. I've also used Peterson in 30BR with same great results. Lapua isn't the only game in town and I'd rather go e my money to American companies and not be pigeon held to one companies products who discontinue brass at their will. E.I 222rem, 220 russian, and many others. Sadly, I'm pretty much done with Lapua at this point.

I agree no need to worry about lapua brass. adg saum brass has been great. Lots of good brass options for all cartridges these days

I had a field stock and it sucked, the comb and buttstock is very narrow and bladey and the forend is flimsy. I really liked the bravo but sold it bc I'm primarily a spot and stock hunter and didn't like how it was a pound heavier than everything else and limited to SA. Ergos were excellent though and the echo is very close to the bravo. I think it'd probably be the ticket bc of the ergos and you can use the OEM mags. It's also very reasonably priced too. Some of the LA Tikka chassis like XLR or MDT hnt 26 you are limited to a 7 oz metal 3.56 aics mag but with the echo you can still use the OEM ones. Currently my 7mag sits in an OEM stock with a airtech buttpad, vertical grip, and drilled comb raiser (get a trigger spring too). For an OEM option you aren't giving up much in terms of ergos and it's still very lightweight.

Surprising. I just got an MDT field stock and I think it's fantastic for the price. Can't remember the site but I got the stock and an AICS mag for $320 shipped to my door. Did require a tiny bit of trimming but the stock itself is by far the nicest $300 stock I've ever bought. Nothing else even close.

Does it compete with my $900 Manners? Not at all...but the $600 back in my pocket will cover it.

Sounds like you should have the bolt face bushed. Lots of guys had to do this with the multi caliber rifles when switching from 308 to 6.5 CM and also with 6 CM. LRI does good work.

Should only need it done if using small rifle primers. You don’t need it going from .308 to 6.5 or 6 creed if they are using large rifle primer brass.

OP did you use go/no go gauges when installing the new barrel? Maybe check it again that nothing moved. If it is that trigger and bolt issue then you might have to send it out to someone to get it checked. Did you pull the firing pin out and make sure it is fine and the tip wasn’t broken from the issue with the one round?

Also a little flowed primer is not something to worry about. Almost normal with factory Rems and certain primers.
