Now a new problem. Fired off two primers. They both fired great, even had some flame come out the end of the barrel. HOWEVER, when I went to pull the bolt back, it would not come back. I had to apply probably 50 lbs of pressure to get the primer to let go (I use Remington STS primers)
I have had some primers stick after shooting before with the regular set up, but it didn't take anywhere near as much force to get the bolt back as now. I mean, I thought I would have to use my hammer to get it back! Not sure what I can do about that, but it won't be good in the field. AND that was with a primer only. What will happen when I have powder and a bullet in front of it???
The breech plug is only recommended with Federal 209A primers. The Remington STS might be a fatter primer. If that's not the case the plug would need replaced.
