Hoping to draw on the experience of others on this forum to figure out what is causing my Remington M700 to mis-fire. The problem is that the cap (No. 11)becomes crushed on the nipple, but does not fire. I figured out that if I work the bolt to cock it but leave the crushed cap in place, thenjust squeeze the trigger a second time, it will fire on the second go. Used to happen only ocasionally, but this past season it happened every time. It got so that when I went hunting I would get out of the truck and "dry" fire it once knowing that it would not fire but would be ready for a second firing when the opportunity arose in the woods. This of course is extremely dangerous so I want to get it figured out before this next season.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice you may be able to give.
