I have a brand spankin new Model 7 in .260 I just picked up Monday. While loading the rifle to see how smooth the action is I have encountered a problem. The rifle will hold the rounds fine however, it does not want to feed them without requiring some force to close the bolt. It's also scratching the brass and putting an occassional dent into the shoulder (this seems to have gone away). These are dummy rounds (Rem brass with 140gr Corelokts)and I tried live factory rounds after the issue arose, same thing. Removing the stock and mag box I could see brass on the rails in the frame (make sense?). I smoothed these a little by hand with sandpaper but it doesn't seem to have had an affect. Any suggestions? I am stoked to have this rifle, love the caliber, but need to resolve the feeding issue. Any help appreciated.
