Hi all,
As the title says. Reloaded 50 rounds of 223 for the Tikka and the 1st 3 rounds failed to fire. On inpection there were visibly light primer strikes. 4th round fired and 5th round failed to fire again. Rounds 6 to 50 fired fine.
Tried firing all the FTFs again and several times to no avail.
It's a new Tikka T3 but has fired somewhere around 600 to 700 rounds already without any previous FTFs.
I did adjust the trigger - first after 200 rounds to as light as it will go. and then just before this session to make it slightly heavier.
The only other thing I can think that I did differently was leaving the bolt closed and uncocked in the rifle after cleaning (possible debris in bolt?)
I'm thinking its a trigger thing. Anyone seen or heard of this before?
Brass was all several times fired (6 or 7) remington from the same batch. Primers were winchester and i've never had an issue with them before.
Thoughts? Trigger just working itself out or something more serious?
