[QUOTE="winsx3, post: 1698516, member: 33663"] This may or may not help but I ran into this same problem once before. It turned out that the front action screw protruded just enough into the bolt lug recess that when the bolt was closed on a cartridge it wouldn't close the whole way. When the bolt was closed on a empty chamber you would never know there was a problem. All I did was just grind off .030" of the bolt and problem solved. [/QUOTE]
