[QUOTE="tugger, post: 1710944, member: 79966"] Thanks to all of you that took the time to reply, much appreciated! So I removed and cleaned up the firing pin and bolt, with exactly the same results. Next I swapped another firing pin from another model 700 same results again. So it wasn’t a dirty pin or bad spring. Then I pulled the bullets and measured the misfired cases, turns out that they were .010 back from a fire Formed cases, instead of .002! For the life of me I can’t figure out how the hell I did that! To be honest I am quite surprised that only .010 would cause a miss fire! Looks like I did the same thing as Ross1147 (only worse) It seems like Ten Thou isn’t very much tolerance, but I hope it’s the problem. For now I will just neck size and see if the miss fires stop, and not bump back on till absolutely Need to. So what do you guys think? Thanks again for your help. [/QUOTE]
