Default Winchester 300WSM 180g powerpoint FAIL
Son has an XBolt in 300wsm

Bought a box of Winchester Super X 300wsm 180g at Boyt's Dept Store in Fairview.

Tried to load them into his rifle, but couldnt close the bolt. Tried all 20, only 3 allowed him to close the bolt.

My buddy has a Tikka 300wsm. We tried them in his gun. He couldnt close his bolt on them either

So now Im gonna try the Winchester Ammo complaint centre...... I will keep y'all posted.

I did mark one of the rounds up with a sharpie and tried to close the bolt. The issue is in the shoulder of the ammo. it seems too thick....i think I COULD crush it if I really pushed down on the bolt, but whats the point.....
