tight bolt close on Anschutz 1710 d hb .22 LR?

[p5200]

Does anyone else with this model or similar, find the bolt hard to close on most but not all, rounds of Wolf Match target ammo? Also, some rounds I have to push pretty hard just to push it fully into the chamber before,,I can close the bolt do I have a feeding problem maybe? the cheap federal rounds chamber and close easily. Winchester T-22 is a little tight but nothing like the Wolf. Thanks!

Most of the high grade match .22's, and yours is truly one, have a "match" chamber. As you "cam" the bolt closed, the bullets are actually jammed into the chamber. My Cooper was like this. Should be fine.

If it is an old gun, perhaps you have a "donut" of built up lube in the chamber which needs to be gently cleaned out. I use the Rimfire blend made by Boretech. I have been shooting some high dollar ammo in my Kidd and they all have VERY gooey lube. I call it beef tallow, especially in this 100 degree Texas heat.

Just my thoughts on your problem.
