Thread: 6.5x55 accuracy

Greetings again,
You said the rifle mis fired which I take to mean that you pulled the trigger, the firing pin went forward and the round did not fire. So far so good. Next you said when you dropped the bolt back it went off. Did you open and close the bolt and pull the trigger to make it fire or what? If this is what happened then it was just a dodgy primer or a grossly oversized case. The rounds need to be loaded in the mag rather than dropped in the chamber to ensure they are picked up by the extractor so this could be a problem or was it something else which may need fixing?
