Thanks guys for all your help. I will check all the things you suggested and report back when I get the rifle back from hunting camp. The rifle is brand new with maybe 50 rounds through it and it has been cleaned at least once.
The brass is all new and never shot. I am sure I measured it at the lands and backed it off. The first time it happened THE OACL was 2.64. I made a note in my book that the lands were at 2.625". My manual says max OACL for a 243 is 2.710. After the first time it got stuck I seated them...
I hand loaded some 243 rounds for my sons 243 Ruger American. Twice now after ejecting a live loaded round it has become stuck in the barrel. What the hell? After the first time it happened, I went and seated all the bullets deeper in the case. The original length was well under my books and...

I have a T3 Tikka in the 270 wizzum. It's light, recoil and price aren't bad, and 140 gr. Accubound kills elk just fine. People overthink this rifle/caliber thing way too much.
Wind is everything as usual. Not bragging but I have over 20+ out of my precious tree stand. I have even double upped a couple of times. Don't worry about camo or movement because they don't catch it like whiteys do. A game cam will tell you if it's worth it. Nice thing is if you approach...
I did Dmax store's Kryptonite front A-arm lift and tie rods but it's a 2500. It gave me a 2.5 inches in the front with increased travel. My angles are still well within spec. 70k on it with no problems. I also have 20's with nearly 35" tires and no issues.
I have never understood why a belt wouldn't suffice, as long as you only keep like two feet of slack in it. Way better than a harness that would let you fall four feet or so.
