took out my brand new ruger .223 m77 mk2 to fire it for the first time...loaded it up with some wolf fmj ammo and it wont feed the ammo. i slide the bolt forward and it goes almost all the way forward but stops 1/4 to 1/2 inch from fully loading the shell. i tried pushing with fairly good force but could not get the bolt all the way forward. ejecting the shell is very hard also. something need some lube? anyone else had/heard of this problem?

thanks,
devin
