Last fall I bought a in the box 7600 in 35 whelen I believe it was made in 2006. At first it would not eject spent shells at all. I checked the chamber and there was a bur so I had a gunsmith polish it out. Now it will fire and eject a shell flawlessly if I hand load it with no magazine in. So I bought a new magazine no difference. Brought it back to gunsmith he has found nothing wrong. Barrle is on tight I know this can be a problem with these guns. I have tried Remington 200 and 250 grain Hornady 200 gr and federal bear claw 225 grain. Gunsmith has it feeding ok with Remington 250 gr round nose but not good enough to hunt with. I am at a lost any ideas should I have him polish the feed ramp. The first round will feed but the second hits and jams everything up.
