[QUOTE="Shanedogg, post: 2746825, member: 102666"] Here is a lesson that I learned recently and did not see mention- If your bolt has a plunger style ejector- depress the plunger with a punch a size smaller and observe if it flushes out with the bolt face or countersinks. If it protrudes, you have a problem. I had a bolt that had a protruding plunger. The problem(FTF), showed up with a batch of brass I shoulder bumped too much(.006/.007 used wrong Redding comp holder than my notes and didn't measure initially-sloppy!). The over bump combined with the proud plunger caused fail to fire. Ground off plunger and problem went away. The remaining over bumped rounds went bang. I will always check any new bolt for this....
