Shouldn’t happen with factory ammo and factory built guns. Anything specific about your rifle or ammo ?
Slam fires occur when the bolt goes into battery and the floating firing pin strikes the primer with enough force to set off the round without the operator engaging the trigger.
You can more often cause a slam fire by rechambering a particular round over and over again - the first round from the mag was it chambered many times before the event ?
Or If you drop the bolt onto a round that you’ve hand fed into the chamber with the magazine out of the gun.
