    Update

    Took my bolt apart and had a look - pretty bloody clean and spring is nice and strong. Firing pin looks good. I should relax it as per MD

    Cases - left to right
    2x Fed210 that fired Win760 with 162 ELDX
    2x WRE that fired RE16 with 140 BTs
    2x WRE same as above that didn’t ignite

    Firing pin strikes look good to me.

    Also one more WRE that did fire and 2 x loaded rounds

    Found my old school hammer bullet puller and dismantled the two that didn’t ignite. They had powder (killed me to tip RE16 in the garden) and cases/primer hole was fine. Dropped one primer on a messy floor but this is one I recovered - looks fine other than not gone off!
