[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1582121, member: 29632"] Edited 1/27/20 to clear up what the issue was, checked the headspace with a headspace gauge, and found it is out of spec, Bergara customer service is great and they have arranged to have it shipped back to them to correct the issue. OP I'm out shooting right now, and the bolt wont close. Brand new bergara b-14 6.5 creedmoor, never fired. Trying factory Nosler 120 gr ballistic tips. Tried to chamber one, bolt wont close, tried another and another. Very tight. Forced it on one and drag marks on bullet. Not firing it because from what I'm seeing it looks to be jammed .250" When I get home I'll start taking measurements to see what's going on, but just from my description and the picture below what say you? One chambered, one not.[ATTACH type="full" alt="15509536832681519545325467480003.jpg"]123871[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
