Feeding the Special

Forgot to add that the special is a lot longer round than the 22LR and any feeding probs would be enhanced by the extra length. Clean under the extractors and the bolt face and it will probably feed better. I think the 22 wrf has quite a bit of wax on the bullets(lead bullets aren't they?) and it may have built up a bit on the bolt as the wax gets stripped off at the chamber and deposited on the bolt face when the rifle closes fully. Just my take on this as I started thinking
