It happened with Federal and PPU and only 1 out of 3 that was shot, the bolt would only go 3/4 down I asked the RO's and they said the Tikka has tight tolerance and dont like the cheap stuff.
What you thought s please.

Next time out will see how it likes it or not.

As they used to tell us in Bisley, a rifle is not your girlfriend, you are allowed to use force when playing with your rifle
