Tried closing the bolt on all cases B4 the bullet was seated. No problem in closing. Just after the seating did the problem arise & then only in 1 out of 3 rounds. Also am running a lighter load at 2800 FPS as the groupings were the tightest at 100 yards.
Appreciate the feedback... you're...
Ran into a very similar problem with Dad's .270 Win in a Remington 721 bolt action. It was the 2nd time reloading the brass, when about 30% of the rounds the bolt wouldn't close. Took into a local gunsmith with a good reputation & they measured the chamber. Was told the chamber wasn't...
Missing the point here... the benefit here is to the Mt resident who has the opportunity to hunt with their family. Not the guy from Iowa, who has a program called a NR license.

Have shot hand loaded Nosler products the for the last 30 years, tried the E-Tips & had problems getting them to group. Decided to give the Barnes TTSX in 180 grains a try. This test load was shot at 100 yards prior to final sight in at 2716 FPS. Grouping began to spread to just under 1" as...

Not at all, appreciate the feedback.. it means alot. This adventure reinforced an old adage that has become a cornerstone for me, with this hunt going down to the last hours, before filling my tag. "You get out of this life what you put into it".
Picked up an identity theft policy from Zander. Had a heads up that my Id was used to secure a CC for a Bronx NY address. Able to dispute that CC & flag fraud charges to prevent this from reoccuring.
Well worth the piece of mind....
Have had two female labs, one black & one yellow. The black lab was a mix & hands down had more natural hunting instincts than my pure bred yellow. Living in Phoenix won't have another black lab as the summers are far to rough on them with that dark coat.
As far as demeanor goes I choose...
Took the last two weeks off from my personal workout routine, come Wednesday January 3rd will be back in the gym 3x's per week for the duration 2024. The hourly workouts provide a break in my routine, one can do only so much yardwork, fruit tree pruning, & raised bed gardening. Grandson & I...
