The bolt nose on the Mountaineer should be really clean. I spray oil on it and wipe it off. Of course primers make a difference as well. With Winchester primers it's really clean.

The biggest problem I have with the bolt on the Mountaineer is just getting my cold fingers to get the primer in the tracks on the bolt face. It is a little cumbersome at times. I don't like it when it is real cold out. I've also ran into the problem of some of my spent primers getting stuck in the bolt after firing?

I seen where Mike was telling my BIL that Knight has redone or I guess drilled the primer pocket, a little larger to accept different primers. Also added a hardening process to the BP. I use Fed209A's and hate to switch, they are easily available to me at a great price and they have always worked well in my TC's, never a FTF.

Endeavor has written a email to lehigh dave with no response, in 4 days??? He said he also left a message for Gordy at Knight on Monday morning with no response, as well. We are both having the same problem.

I called and talked to Mellisa in CS and she said she would try to figure something out for me, because Gordy was out of town. I am waiting for her return call.
