I have a brand new TRG 22. Yesterday I went to shoot and after app. 40 rounds the bolt started to get stuck closed, i.e. it required considerable effort to lift the handle, after that the bolt slid back effortleslly. I happened only after discharge, without firing the bolt worked fine. I tried to clean the chamber on the sport and it helped.
1) Was an uncleaned chamber the problem? The brass looked fine (Remington 308 Win Premier Match 168 gr Matchking BTHP). I admit I didn't clean the chamber after the first two sessions very well.
2) Any recommendations regarding the ammo? I have seen results from other shooters and the precission looked much better than what I can achieve. Is it good quality ammo?
I am a newbie so all advices will be very appretiated.
