[QUOTE="Lefty38-55, post: 2490939, member: 95029"] I don't know THAT action ... so maybe a [i]dumb suggestion[/i] on my part ... but is it possible that rifle is a 'controlled round feed' type of action, akin to a K98k Mauser and you're trying to load the chamber without the extraction rim of the case being fully under/behind the extractor on the bolt? Try seating a round all the way back in the magazine and see if that works, i.e., closing the bolt slowly, bolt picking up the round and making sure that the case head bears fully up against the bolt face at the bolt closes.
