I have been having good luck with my New Browning Varmint Stalker, I have only been shooting plastic tipped Bullets, V max's and the Blitzking's. Today I was going to try and work up some loads for Berger's 35 grain Flat Based Hollow Point, this bullet is not plastic tipped of course, So I loaded up some shells that I hoped would shoot tiny groups and set the COL to a modest 2.365, becasue of the magazine length, the COL can only be 2.400,
I tried to jack one in from the magazine and no go. it will not chamber. I can force it and when I do the COL shrinks down to 2.240 give or take a thousanth, apparently the metal nose of this bullet hits somewhere in there and will not chamber unless the COL is pretty short. It works OK when I hand feed the shell single shot. (Or when I use the polymer tipped bullets), But I don't want a single shot especially for coyote hunting. I am going to give Browning a call and ask them whats the scoop,
