[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 5433428, member: 5958"] This is a firing pin strike issue. Something has worked its way into the firing pin channel. That is where you get the double indentation look. The firing pin IS NOT retracting all the way because something is stopping it from doing so (dirt-grit). The obstruction is small and hard. You have to take things apart and clean them. The hard bolt closure is indicative of an overlong condition. You know this because one bullet was stuck in the rifling. I have had this with lots of calibers because I like 007 as my jump. I make a slight mistake.....or the neck tension is bad.....you get what you got. BTW, when I have to unload a live round I put the brass in the fired bucket, put the bullet back in the box, and toss the powder. That brass goes through a complete case prep cycle, just as if it was fired. [/QUOTE]
