[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 3068092, member: 122164"] Clean the chamber, maybe some grit down in the shoulder area reducing headspace. The gunsmith may have set the headspace up with a Short Headspace length. -.004 is normal, but many will headspace -.006-.-008, and it sounds like this is what you are dealing with. You may have to pull the bullets in the factory ammo and bump the shoulders back just a tad where you get a "firm" feel on closing the bolt, and keep the bolt lugs lubed. [/QUOTE]
