Hey Guys
Ireally appreciate all the previous tips and help! Sincere THANKS!
But now I have a new problem. After loading 30 rounds I decided to cycle them thru myBrowning A-boltand 7 of them are really hard to cycle. They feed in, but the bolt has a hard time closing and opening. What did I do wrong????
I full length resizied, Each one is under OAL spec, etc..
You may have done NOTHING WRONG at all. The cases may just have been fireda lot, and need to be sized down more than you did. BUT if you are certain theprimer, bullets, and powder charges in them are OK,
THE CARTRIDGE CASES ARE WITHING SPECS AS TO LENGTH,and you can close the bolt ALL THE WAY, even if it takes some effort, you CAN FIRE them safely. Just use these at the range, and use the ones that chamber easily forhunting..... You will probably find that the tough ones will rechamber easily AFTER FIRING...
IF the cases turn out to be too long, pull the bullets, dump the powder charges, and trim them!!
