On a few occasions after I lift my bolt it does not want to come back. Knight gunsmith thinks the primer may be getting stuck in the primer slot in the breech plug. Could a change in primer brand make a difference. I am currently using Winchester 209.

It appears it’s a BP issue. SABOTLOADER walked me thru a few tests that indicate it might need shimmed. I replaced it with a new Lehigh BP and all is good. Still going to try and shim the old one and see if it makes a difference.
