[QUOTE="David L, post: 1382126, member: 104068"] I realize this is an older post, but I experienced exactly the same issue right down to the photographs with the original post. I went nuts trying to figure out what was causing the bolt overriding the cartridges after the first cartridge chambered correctly. It turned out that the solution was very simple. Operator error. I was not pulling the bolt back fully each time without realizing it. When I corrected the extraction stroke and fully retracted the bolt, all of my feeds were proper. The problem, was that the bolt never seated behind the cartridge before the forward stroke. It rested just as seen in the photo of the second cartridge being overridden by the bolt. At least that was my solution. I thought passing this along might help someone else. BTW, I am ex military and have been shooting since I was 10 years old. Not lack of experience, but lack of attention to detail. [/QUOTE]
