Okay guys!
So Wade at Stuteville precision contacted me after noticing this post and offered to take a look at it, no expense to me. He supplied a shipping label, I sent him the barreled action along with a few rounds of the factory ammo I was using (the ammo that was fitting real tight).
He emailed me back as soon as he received it and let me know exactly what was going on. Turns out some of my factory ammo was a little longer than usual, which would explain why sometimes it felt worse than other times. It also explains why I didn't experience it the first time shooting, since it was from a different box. He gave me two options, he could either send it back knowing that the unusually long factory ammo was the problem, or he could make the throat a little larger to accommodate a broader range of ammo without it getting so tight.
I went ahead and chose to have the throat adjusted a little bit. He shipped it back to me, and it's in my hands. It's running FLAWLESSLY now. Super easy to chamber rounds (tried 40 rounds from 2 different boxes, all of them smooth as glass), just like I remember, just like the other Impact actions I felt in the past.
The whole process including shipping only took about two and a half weeks and I couldn't be happier with the results. Wade was super easy to contact through email and phone, was pleasant to talk to, and he even sent me a hat and t-shirt!
So thumbs WAY up for Stuteville precision. Thank you so much for fixing my little issue, and in a timely, friendly fashion!
Will definitely be getting future Impact Pre-Fits from him!

Hey guys,
Weirdest thing happened and I have no idea why or how to fix it.
I've got a pretty new Impact Precision action, I've fired about 30 rounds through it with no problem and it was very accurate very smooth.
I plopped it into a Magpul Pro chassis and it seems to fit just fine.
Then I tested the magazine to ensure that it feeds fine, and yes, the magazine does its job and feeds into the chamber perfectly. BUT for some reason I am meeting resistance when cambering the round. I can push through it but it's spongy and awkward. The round itself won't travel the last tenth of an inch without some extra help. It's like the chamber magically got really tight overnight.
I don't understand why the chamber feels extra tight all of a sudden. I didn't change the barreled action at all. The action screws aren't protruding from the bottom (it happens even when I take it out of the stock), the magazine isn't the issue because it does this with or without the magazine. A snap cap will chamber perfectly, but a live round gets gummy.
I swabbed the chamber, looks clean. I even put a cleaning rod down it to ensure there were no bore obstructions. I'm using the same ammo (6.5CM ELD-M Factory 140gr)
It's really annoying because the extra resistance can sometimes disrupt my sight picture when I'm aiming and working the bolt. I don't remember this happening last time i took it out.
Anyone have any clues?
