Thread: tight closing the bolt

So now you have a bunch of doubtful rounds and plenty of solutions for how to avoid this happening again. I dont have any more.
I do have a suggestion for your loaded rounds though as I have found myself in this situation too.
- Remove the firing pin from the bolt, then run all the loaded rounds through the rifle using a soft hammer or a rag round a piece of wood to tap the bolt open for the real tight ones. Run them all through the rifle again and set aside any that are still pricks to chamber, the rest will be good to go.
This is suggested on my assumption that they are close and not miles out of size, based on the fact you have measured them up
