kent Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thing is I should be finding out why. Most likely its muck in the bolt giving intermittent light strikes, this will also effect accuracy. I have never had a non ignited rim fire round that I can remember, you might have a duff batch but I seriously doubt it due to the way priming compound is spun into each case in production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bewsher500 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 very common in semi autos (I know yours isnt) I had FTF's on CCI ammo rechamber and a fire again if only to get rid clean the chamber and if necessary the internals of the bolt.

walt1980 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 The reason it was a light strike was the bolt handle wasn't completely down. The anschutz are common doin it if its even only a tiny bit above the stop. I was warned when I got the gun last month but maybe a little bit of newbie over excitement while I was out and seeing a rabbit! Haven't had anymore since then, just a bit more thorough! Cheers tho!
