Here's the situation:
Savage 110 project rifle, barrel swapped to .260 Remington.
Brass is PPU 7.62mm necked down to 6.5mm. Bullet is Hornady 140g ELD-M. Powder charge is within spec.
When fired, the bolt sticks HARD. It takes beating it open with the heel of the hand.
Also, the brass comes out with black soot around the outside of the neck. Only the neck, though.
Accuracy is horrendous. The impacts string out horizontally.
What are potential causes?
