[QUOTE="stangfish, post: 1921208, member: 14534"] If the firing pin slides inside the bolt....... you probably good. Firing pin protrusion should be between .035" and .045". Some are longer but that takes away from travel. Your firing pin travel is good @ .225 plus. If you reload and do not check case headspace there is a high probability this is your problem. The pin will hit the primer the case will move forward robbing needed energy for ignition. For a bolt action .001" -.003" is plenty room for a case. Anything more is a potential issue. [/QUOTE]
