Have a REM 700 that started life as 223. Just had it trued and rebarrelled as switch barrel 223 and 300 whisper. Getting failure to fire with my whisper ammo. Haven't tried any 223 in other barrel. Is this a primer issue or spring issue? Dies are properly set up. Bolt closes with light feel and dies are adjusted just a hair from bolt closing hard.
Wolf 223 primers. Primers fire on second strike. Had a lot of wolf sm rifle mag primers that some wouldn't fire at all bit I knew they werent any good. Wolf had already refunded money on them.
Action and bolt were both cerakoted.
Flushed the bolt channel and it looked clear.
Anything I can look at before buying replacement firing pin spring. Rifle was
bought new about 24 years ago.
Haven't had any previous issues with cci primers in this rifle.
Thanks
Brad.
