[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1396760, member: 93846"] I have an Axis, also in 7mm-08. The Axis safety does not lock the bolt closed on safe. There is however, more than enough tension/friction on the bolt lugs when closed, to hold the bolt closed even cocked on an empty chamber. The OP needs to get a set of headspace gauges and check his headspacing. Chambered factory ammunition should have more than enough tension in the bolt to hold it closed, if the headspacing is correct. Try another brand of factory ammo to see if it fixes the problem. If you reload, you should have no problem. Just don't bump the shoulder back, or don't bump it back too far. Also neck sizing only will certainly help stop the issue. Definitely check the factory ammo and headspace first! [/QUOTE]
