If bumping does not work then it sounds like a neck length issue. Pull the pill from each brass and measure case length.

bumping failed. the bb is averaging 2.838" ish and the the norma 2.815" in length , that enough to do it? assumed (mother of all f*ckups...) that i wouldnt need to trim new brass...sigh....

8 beers later..... sorted it, shoulder needed more bumping back.... thanks for all the help to this rookie team much appreciated!

What bergers are you shooting? 300gr OTM Elite Hunters? Killed anything with it yet?

If what you said here fixed the problem, then what I want to know is "why does the bolt close with empty brass but not loaded?" Did you ever work that one out?
