Bolt Lug Wear on Tikka T3x -- Ok?

[47WillysGuy]

So closing thoughts, this thread was truly helpful and has allowed me make a needed correction in my handloading process.

@boltfluter - your thoughts on Tikkas are encouraging! I like this rifle and it has shown some real promise through the first 100 rounds. Hoping it enjoys a long and happy life.

Thanks again to all!

Shoot Straight!

Don’t remember who said, a very excellent benchrest shooter I think, said “ that case should be as loose as rat turd in a violin case.”

Your sharpie test shows minimal wiping of the coloring, with a good lube you won’t have that problem any more.

Good luck!
