Greetings,
I have a fairly new Tikka T3 in 6.5x55. I also bought two boxes (100) of Lapua brass. I fired 50 rounds working up loads one time.
Here is the problem. Once a round of the Lapua brass is fired, and either resizedand or reloaded or freshly fired if you put it back in the rifle the extractor will not pick it up.
Any other brand of brass or unfired Lapua brass picks up and extracts ok. I just discovered that if I chamber once fired and resize brass it will extract if I pulled the trigger while its chambered.
I had some once fired Lapua that I resized and primed. I chambered it and it fired the primer and extracted normally. Put it back in the rifle and it doesnt pick it up unless you pull the trigger after chambering.
All other brand of fired and or reloaded brass are functioning normally. Do I just sell or shelve the Lapua and move on?
Pull in my hair on this problem.
