Hey guys quick question . I have a 25LV .223 .Today i was at the range and first round fired ,after that tried about six more rounds and completely did nothing...There is indentation on primer but what would be the main causes for not firing? My buddy tried two of the rounds in his 12flv and the went bang so not sure. Rifel is fairly new Less than two years.

look at adjusting your firing pin length and check the crap can't think of the name but thepart thatis round and cock the pin when it goes forward at the time you fire it may not go as far as it should

Have you messed with trigger adjustment, possible adjusted down and or your putting slight side pressure on trigger. I have heard this can occur with the accutrigger not experienced it myself.

Does anyone happened to have instructions on how to adjust firing ping length?

As for the trigger i have not adjusted, its factory set.....


Thanks

Let us know when you solve problem I have the 25 and found the accuracy super only problem at first bolt was very stiff but that has improved with use.

Stay with it mine is super accurate with my reloads fairly consistent .500 groups at 100 yards, odd thing it will shoot
as good as my heavy model 12 with 26 inch barrel, both are 223.
