Hi Cam, I think you may have touched on the problem here. I was talking about the Monarch and Majestic in 243.

I reckon the chambers were 'sloppy' and a certain amount of rubbish and blood got in and baked onto the chamber walls. I don't know if this is the reason but it is a theory I have had for a long time. I am no gunsmith but I am thinking maybe a better fitting chamber would have scraped a lot of the shit off as you chambered the shell. I have never had chambering problems before or since as I had with those two rifles.

We used to joke about accidently trying to chamber a reload from either of those rifles into the Sako's how you would chuck it away thinking it was .270.
