I am having a hard time reloading for this rifle. Does it have a "Palma" chamber or what? Empty cases with bullets run into the lands at book reloading length and extract with no problem. I have to load a SMK 175 at 2.700, a SMK 165 at 2.750, same for a 155. A-max 168 and 155 at 2.775 and extraction for all of the above is difficult. Short throat or what? I need help.

All reloads tried so far shoot .75 to 1.25 MOA. I know the rifle can do better.

Any help would be appreciated, Stu
