Sauer 100 field ethos problems

I don't know, I'd say the checkered bolt knob, barrel band stud, iron sights and higher grade wood is what makes it a non-budget price over our logo, but I'm not too smart.

I am, however, smart enough to diagnose this as a rifle issue. The rest of us with these rifles have shot a lot of the PPU factory loads and have had zero issues with the primers, and he's having light strikes on the HL's. Most likely going to have them with his new ammo.

Happy to hear it's accurate. Ours are as well. @coolusername , If you'll text me today, I'll get to work helping you rectify this asap.

Just sent you a text. I look forward to getting this figured out.
 
That’s correct @jasonv. I was able to figure out that it was an ammo issue 100%. I cleans the grease out then shot through a box each of hornady and lapua factory ammo without a single issue. Then I tried the custom stuff again just to see and 3 out of 8 rounds went bang. It’s unfortunate because this company had good reviews on here. Here in the next few days or so I plan on making a post about my experience with this dude and let everyone know what to watch out for.


Thanks again for reaching out @jasonv. I appreciate someone who stands behind their stuff
 
I do not have an Ethos but a Sauer 100 and a couple days ago I had the same issue 4 rounds out of 12 that had a light primer strike. Now I have fired maybe 200 rounds before and never had this issue same brass that had been fire and resized. So I also took the bolt apart and it also was caked in grease, gave it and goo cleaning and a shot of Rem oil when I was done and will give it a try when the wind lays down so I can finish load development

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.

I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!

I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.
