If he was using that cheap Yugoslav factory ammo that is the most likely problem. Brass on that stuff is usually not sized down properly. Have found that stuff to be a fight to get into alot of decent rifles, unless you have a sloppy old rem chamber or something similar.

T3 is still the best quality 'budget' priced rifle on the market, in my opinion. Not perfect, or everyone's cup of tea though. But that's life.

I didn't want to bag out the ammo on here but thats exactly what it was .but in saying that we fed the same stuff through A Remington and had no dramas which I would put down to the sloppy action .had same problem with the A7 action.3 packet ammo deals are the real problem
