I finally took my first bolt action out to the range yesterday (Savage 10FP-LE2) and did the break-in. My question is, how hard should the bolt be to open after firing? The bolt is pretty smooth too open and close when loading a round, but after firing, it takes more effort to open and extract the cartridge. It's not extremely hard, but I actually have to put more force into rotating the bolt to pull it back. I was using Hornady 168 Match factory ammunition.
