I bought a Tikka t3x lite in 6.5cm and a couple cases of Federal Non-typical whitetail ammo. It is cheap and shot well in my other guns, however for some reason 50% of teh rounds are either hard to close the bolt or some simply won't close.
I have heard Tikkas have tighter chambers. I sent the ammo back to Federal and I get the standard... ammo is fine and to spec. I'm thinking the chamber is on the tight side and the ammo on the big end.
I'm wondering, do they make a hone or some sort of tool to slightly open up a chamber? I really don't want to pay the $350 it cost to chamber a barrel on a brand new gun.... (I don't know if Tikka would warranty it since I already had the muzzle threaded)
