[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4194316, member: 12277"] This is a bolt action you're having the problem with I'm assuming? If so, the problem I was suspecting with my Marlin 336 lever action of jamming the bullet into the lands shouldn't be an issue at all in your case. My problem was unique to the 336 design where a too long cartridge MIGHT prevent the lever from closing all the way, which MIGHT not lift the locking block up high enough to fully align the two halves of the firing pin, which MIGHT effectively shorten the firing pin giving less protrusion from the bolt face. A lot of possible events which may or may not ever really happen. The dirt in the firing pin hole was more significant than the bullet hitting the rifling. But the weaker aftermarket mainspring was the real root cause of my problem. If you've been using factory Remington ammo, you were probably using the same primers. I'm interested in what you find out. [/QUOTE]
