Loaded 3 sets of 6 rounds and went to shoot and 3 of them didn't have primers in them. I think I know how I did it. I had a few un-primed in the ammo box I used to separate the different loads. Must of grabbed one of those is my best guess. Good thing I was on a bench and didn't move the rifle after it went click. Waited a good minute before opening the bolt.That could have been a mess and an accident. Got home pulled the 3 bullets and weighed the powder. 3/10s was the largest missing from any of the 3 and it was recovered in the ammo box. Whew nothing in the receiver.
This morning I looked at each shell mark them as to what load I'm putting in with a sharpie before loading powder. I see where a good routine is key here and not to be taken lightly.
