Hi
I have just finished building a custom 6.5 Swede off a Remington 700 LA that was originally in 30-06 caliber. I purchased a new custom PTG stainless bolt, a new Oberndorf stainless trigger assembly, new stainless follower, and follower spring.
After assembly I then inserted a dummy round into the magazine and when I tired to chamber the round it was extremely difficult. Tried polishing the follower with no luck.
I should mention I use Nosler brass which has a slightly larger rim than brass made by Winchester, etc.
Anyone have any suggestions of how to make the action smoother or is it just time as parts start to 'wear in'.
Thanks
Robert
