Not really...I just think Mike is using right handed boolits with a left handed bolt.

I had the same problem with nails at my South Carolina house. Damn carpenter was throwing every third nail over his shoulder, mumbling the head was on the wrong end of the nail. The guy is an idiot, I picked up every nail and used them on the other side of the house.

It's hard to find good help around here anymore.

I found that the rear stock bolt was not torqued to spec, and the action was flexing. I'm going to take it along, along with the Winchester .32 for close range, but the Colonel has a loaner in case this did not cure the problem.

Could possibly be the problem, fingers crossed.

Shoot it in the back yard a couple of times, then hide it when the cops show up.

Interesting find on the read bolt...... take yer Wilson 1911 and some hot loaded cast boolits. We use 255 grain plus P Buffalo Bore for hogs within 30 yards.
