I just picked up my new Model 16 .223. I'm not familiar with the centerfeed action. Do I just force the cartridge straight down between the feed lips? That is what I gathered from the manual.

Also, I just cycled some rounds through the action, and had a problem with bolt override. One round took two tries to pick it up and it refused to pick up the last round. Am I doing something wrong, or is thing destined to go back to savage?

Thanks in advance.
