[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 1912976, member: 87887"] Does the bolt close easily on a loaded round if single fed? If not, CastIron is correct, its a die set-up issue. How smooth is the round feeding from the magazine? If deforming the exposed lead tip significantly, there is an issue with the way the bullet interfaces with the feed ramp and/or the magazine feed lips may need adjustment. Perhaps they are not releasing the cartridge properly. Is it possible the magazine is not properly fit/positioned so that the mag rides to low and the bullet hits the well of the action just below the feed ramp? Just a few things to check. Good luck.
