Thanks to all your help guys! I reloaded 20 rounds with primers from a completely different box then took it to the range. I only got through 10 (due to weather, time and dedication to ladder tests with different rifles) and had no issues. I am beginning to believe that I might have a bad batch of primers as I had 1 FTF with a different rifle. Upon review of my reloading log, I see that both the batch of .338-06 and the .308 were loaded on the same day and I know that those had to be loaded with primers from the same box.
Robinhood, I will take your suggestions and keep them under my hat until I see further issue. As stated above, I believe that I had a primer issue and not a bolt issue. Your numbers and steps are good to know and have a bolt that I can mess with to see impacts of such changes.
