Thread: Soft point damage

Gday guys
Down at the range today getting the zero back on point.

I notice when I circulate my rounds with the bolt (Rem Mod 7 308) there is a bit of resistance and the round scrapes against the top of the action? Where it goes into the barrel..

Anyway

I ejected a round I had cycled in and there was significant damage to the soft point. It was slightly flattened and every so slightly edged to one side. Just the lead point not the whole projectile.

Will this effect accuracy out to 200yards?

I resorted to single loading through the top of the bolt

Thanks in advance
