Been a while since I cleaned bolt and pin, since it works fine with my handloads.


Mine worked fine with Remington factory ammo, but didn't work with Federal factory ammo.........

Seriously, pull the FP assembly and check/clean it.

You know how often I clean my bolt on my silhouette rifle zero. It's on its 4th barrel of 2500+ rounds each out of each barrel. Never had a misfire, lite primer strike, never. Or any other of my centerfield matter of fact. Only bolts I clean are on my rimfires.
