[QUOTE="BamaPse, post: 1239544, member: 70721"] I was out bear/deer hunting this morning with my Custom Frank Wells Remington 700 in .375 h&h and I went to the pull the trigger on a nice 4x4 when it just went, click. I pulled the bolt back and reloaded and it did it again as I watch 3 decent bucks bound off out of site. I got home and did some investigating and the cartridge that didn't fire had a relatively light primer strike and so I put another round in and shot it and it shot beautifully with a much deeper primer strike. I have never had this happen before and so I am pretty frustrated because nice 4x4 blacktails don't show up real often on the property I hunt and the gun cost me a great deer. Will the firing pin not reset if by some chance I didn't pull the bolt back entirely? If I recall correctly the firing pin resets with the bolt handle closes, not when the bolt gets pulled back. Any help would be great! [/QUOTE]
