[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2805058, member: 10755"] The cause is that brass is often undersize by 5 thou’ and bolt faces are often larger by 5 thou’ over nominal size. This will allow the rim to slip out from under the extractor causing a fail to eject situation. The plunger needs this tight balance to keep the rim under the extractor so the case is kicked sideways before it leaves the front of the action. To check this, chamber a fired case, slowly extract it and place a finger on the side of the case as you withdraw the bolt, you will feel either strong spring pressure or the point where the case slips out from under the extractor which renders the plunger useless to kick the case out. You can have a sleeve turned up and soldered to the bolt face to correct this, but it costs as much as a new bolt as you will have to have a Sako or M16 type extractor fitted. Hope this helps. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
