[QUOTE="CNY Yote Hunter, post: 2294104, member: 109650"] Well want to thank everyone for the responses and ideas to try. Finally got to the range today and found my answers, first the front scope base screw was bottoming out on the barrel! I had torqued and retorqued 10 times at least and never caught this. The only way to know is to take the rear bolt out and you can find a small amount of play in the base. I shortened the screw and retorqued and verified repair. Still had same issue with flyer unfortunately! I thought 110 percent when I saw that i was golden! Next… while at the range I chambered a round and extracted it with all 3 rounds from the mag. Low and behold my cbto on 1 round had dropped by .046! I repeated this step multiple times and found no rime or reason to the madness as far as which one is getting stuffed into the case further, could be first, could be 3rd or 2nd. What the hell, maybe because this is such a small caliber this is happening. Neck tensions are all the same, and I’m not sure how I feel about a crimp on my rounds for a bolt gun because I’ve never had to do this before. My next question pertains to a crimp as I see this may be the only way to fix the issue if I plan on using the mag which I do. How do you manage consistent neck pressure for a crimp, is it even possible? [/QUOTE]
