[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2300174, member: 1951"] Let’s clarify a couple things first…. Was the bolt easy to close before the round was fired? Like with the firing spring and ejector removed from the bolt, does the handle close with the same force as no round in it? After firing lifting the bolt from closed to fully open, was it easy or hard? Then, was pulling it back after full opening easy or hard? It sounds like the last issue. So, did it click or was it hard to open the bolt the last 10 degrees? If not, you simply don’t have enough primary extraction which is something Pierce needs to correct. The only thing for you to try is new brass since the old maybe oversized in a way you cannot fix. [/QUOTE]
