[QUOTE="therifleman556, post: 1453209, member: 101898"] Ran into an issue tonight. I was trying to work the bolt quickly on my 270 WSM A-BOLT and when I ran the bolt forward it picked up the fresh cartridge but stopped on the empty that failed to clear the ejection port (did I just stovepipe a bolt action :confused:?) I noticed that when I work the bolt quickly the empty brass seems to bounce of the back of the ejection port and barely clear the receiver. If I withdraw it a bit more moderately, they flip out, but don't seem to go more than a foot or so. Do I just need a new ejector spring, or are there other forces at work here? [/QUOTE]
