Nosler/Tikka Compatibility? (help)

[Wildabeest]

Just got back from the range, I shot a savage 30-06, shooting my new Nosler Accubond 165 gr and I was experiencing bolt lock with every shot....

Contact Nosler Customer Service. They will take good care of you. If your issue is that the bolt won’t close when you try to load a cartridge, it sounds like the same problem I was having - head space issue. Simply getting replacements fixed the problem for me. I cycle both boxes of the new cartridges and they all cycled fine. None of the ones I sent back would cycle.

I think it’s a Nosler issue. I have noticed this with some of my 300 wsm 180gr factory AB in my Browning Abolt - It also seems the tighter they are the more accurate they shoot though?? has anybody else noticed that? Check out the pic of this group. The 5 shots that are together all fit fairly tight but the odd shot that was 5” low cycled loosely. Can you veteran loaders/shooters explain that?
