    will a factory or fl sized reload chamber and extract?
    If the fired brass has been stretched due to whatever it wont chamber nicely without being resized first, your brass may not either due to different chamber spec.
    Now it is definitely clean time to try factory ammo, if it wont chamber and extract easily its off to the gunsmith I would say.

    Mag box brazed to action sounds odd,Anyone know if this is how they are from the factory? If not this may have warped the action.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    308Win One chambering to rule them all.

    Hey VC ive tried 4 different brands of unfired ammo without firing them and it still does it.
    If god didn't want us to eat animals he wouldn't have made them out of food.
