So I am brand new to the 6.5 grendel. I have built several AR's in the past in various calibers (multiple 223's, 300BO, and even 9mm), and had no problems previously. This time I put it all together and took it to the range loaded it up, released the bolt, aim, and click... didn't fire. the first round when I release the bolt doesn't go into battery properly. Once I get it in place the follow up shots cycle perfectly, but I am almost always having problems with that first round seating in properly. What could be the problem? This one was built to become my go to deer hunting rifle, so not knowing if my first shot is going to fire is a big concern.
