Let me run something by you with a couple of photo's attached.
I have a Alexander Arms (AA) Grendel 6.5. I have barely shot more than 150 rounds though it over 3-years. I kept getting jams (failure to load) ever 4-6 rounds. So I contacted AA, dropped it off and they "polished and blended feed ramps, replaced faulty disconector". I requested that when it was working they put 25 rounds per each 7 magazine (175 rounds total) of Wolf 120gr MPT through it, which they did with no failures.
So I'm clearing and re-organizing and come across my Grendel reloading stuff that I bought with the rifle 3-years ago. One, of which, was a Sheridan Stainless Steel gauge.
So, being curious, I test my ammo.
Precision Firearms reloads - 123 gr Hornady A-Max.
Original Hornady - 123 gr Hornady A-Max.
AA manufactured - 123g Lapua Scenar.
Black Hills Gold - 123gr Sierra matchking.
Wolf - 120gr MPT
Attached is a pic of the wolf. They all appear in spec.
Now the real meat.
I grabbed some fired wolf MPT cases and tried them. See last picture.
To me, it seems the chamber is large and its blowing the case so it won't fit in the gauge ?
What do you think ???
