[QUOTE="F&H1821, post: 2484341, member: 117790"] Thansk xsn. Comparator measurements underway. Can do the Hornadys -- fired, duds, and unfired; the Federals -- fired n=60 and unfired n=20; and also one new box of Nosler brass (not nickel plated). Was going to disassemble the bolt and give it a good cleaning in the ultrasonic cleaner, with metal parts cleaner solution. However, I may shoot it some more before cleaning if the comparator data indicate a possible smoking gun (hah, hah, pun intended), in an attempt to ID the source of the problem. I have a science background, so like to keep the picture as unconfounded as possible. I have another fresh box of that Hornady ammo, so can test that box after bolt cleaning. This gun only has a total of 67 rounds down it, and has been kept in a humidity controlled gun safe, so a dirty bolt is unlikely, thought still can't be dismissed as a possible factor. [/QUOTE]
