[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2176774, member: 10755"] Before looking for a carbon ring, when you say you blew a primer, have you had any pierced primers previously? I have had several rifles come across my bench that had a pierced primer and blown primers that suddenly gave erratic accuracy. The culprit every single time was either the pierced piece of primer cup stuck inside the bolt body or the crud from the blown primer. Dismantle the bolt, remove the firing pin assembly and flush the inside of the bolt with a carbon solvent and blow it out with compressed air. Check the firing pin spring carefully, the pieces my be stuck in the coils. If this checks out, then check the extractor and ejector, a blown primer can stick the ejector in place and you won’t see it. Check and double check the ejector, push it all the way in. Cheers.
