tight bolt

[bruno]

i got some shells from sir and they are tight in my gun. is it normal to require a decent amount of pressure to close the bolt? No other shells i,ve tried before and after are like this.

 

[dumbdawg]

are they factory or reloads

What is the caliber and make of the ammo, and what is the make and model of your rifle?

factory, 270win savage110 bolt

I think I answered you in gunsmithing, but once again - too long a bullet in a chamber with a short throat will result in a tight bolt on lock up.

 

[bruno]

you did, thanks
