BigJimP - In this case the gun is in great shape, and I just went through it about 50 rounds ago (as I always do before the season), so dirt or lube isn't the culprit


idek - Interesting !! It was a cheap winchester that I was firing at the time.
I have already decided to give up on pretty much all winchester ammo due to very inconsistently light loads and the occasional "big boomer" that recoils like a monster and sometimes blows the birds to bits. This day I just happened to find one in the pocket of an old coat and decided to give it a proper send off.
I've also had some cheap bulk box rifle ammo that flattened primers badly and one that didn't even have a flash hole. FYI a LR Primer with next to no room for expansion creates enough pressure to stick a bolt pretty solid.

So yes, I'm off of Winchester's cheap stuff...maybe all Winchester ammo.
