[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 696894, member: 17844"] Maybe the extractor is faulty and slipping off the case. Maybe head space is short and the ammo is a tight fit and the shooter is jamming the bolt down without realising it. Caming power in a bolt action is high . Maybe the new gun has got dried out transport grease in the chamber . Give the chamber a real good scrub out . Maybe you are using Military spec ammo in a 308W civilian chamber . That can sometimes cause the ammo to jam at the shoulder diameter especially in a tight chamber . Maybe the ammo is over normal pressure . After scrubbing the chamber inspect it for roughness or reamer marks . [/QUOTE]
