[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 2484692, member: 77249"] The bolt tear down and check would be my first thing to check. A chip of metal in the firing pin channel bouncing around could be the problem. A new rifle needs the bolts firing pin removed. Clean the firing pin channel and remove any heavy storage grease from the firing pin spring and channel. Coat spring and firing pin with a light oil. With a micrometer or dial caliper. Check from the head to front edge of belt on these cases and compare against the shell casing of the other lot of ammo that fired properly. To prove the problem, The scotch tape on the case head would be a good way to prove the present problem shells are out of head space, To take pictures and show manufacture of the problem shells. Good Luck finding the problem. [/QUOTE]
