I can understand your frustation, but hang in there ,Remington will make it right. I also have a stainless .300 WSM and it has been working flawlessly with two different brands of factory ammo. This is my sixth model 700 and they have all worked perfectly and were good shooters. I once sent to Remington for a new front sight and hood from a BDL to install on an ADL for a friend, asked them to billit to a CC number and they sent it at no charge. They will find and correct the problem. Read some of the current articles in some of the shooting mags and you'll be real pleased with the caliber choice you've made-----John R
