[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1571431, member: 77249"] Did you chronograph the loads? Has the primers backed out of the cases on firing? The best indicator of excessive head space, Or die adjustment problem. If you have only neck sized the cases and they are not firing. Something in the bolt may be causing the problem. Take the bolt apart, Check if there is some scrap of metal loose in the firing pin front section. Clean the whole firing pin channel. Carefully insert the firing pin in from the front of the bolt and see if it slides in an out smooth. There is a possibility the tip of the firing pin is bent and dragging, Check for shiney or scratched areas on side of tip. Check under the bolt handle where it closes in the action and stock. Make sure the bolt is going down so the firing pin is not dragging in the cocking slot on the back of the bolt. If the bolt handle has been replaced any metal removed off the under side, And the bolt rotating and dragging down the side of the cocking notch by rotating to far. It could be a bad lot of primers. Hard cup or incomplete compound. Good Luck in finding the problem and a cure. [/QUOTE]
