I had a new custom built hunting rifle in 300PRC to the range yesterday. I used the Hawkins Hunter DBM on this build and I'm having an issue....
I used a Surgeon action on the build, and with no ammo in the DBM, the bolt is slick as hell. When I load the DBM and go to feed the cartridge, the bolt is a little rough and gritty. The cartridge will feed into the chamber but not as slick as it should.
The rifle is new and everything is cerakoted....not sure if its a feeding issue, or things just need worn in to feed more smoothly..??
I appreciate any thoughts or help!!
