I have a model 70 7MM WSM, when I fire off a round I have to literally pound on the bolt to get it to eject the fired casing. When you put a live round in, you can run the bolt and eject it just fine. I tried Winchester and Federal shells with the same result. I bought this at an auction and I have a feeling that whoever had it prior (stated only 10 rounds had been fired through it), must have shot something through it other then a 7MM WSM.

I'm assuming I need a new barrell, is there anything else that could cause this???

Any help is greatly apprecaited.
