Had an odd thing happen at the range today. Was doing some group testing with different types of 308 ammunition in a Christensen Mesa. I have three boxes of Nosler Trophy Grade Accubond. When I cycled the bolt, I could not get the bolt to go down. This is not after the shot, but could not get the bolt to go down to even shoot. Tried several bullets and the same thing. I thought maybe something had happened to my rifle. Tried two other kinds of ammo and they fed fine.
So, my buddy was shooting a Savage 110 Tactical. Gave him some bullets. Same issue. He could not close his bolt and his also fed other ammo fine.
The brass on the bullets we tried had huge deep scratches afterward.
Anyone ever run into this? Thoughts?
I sent a message to Nosler about the issue, because that ammunition is very pricey.
