Recently purchased a browning x-bolt speed 6.5 Creedmoor. The bolt action seems tight while chambering rounds. Is it normal for it to seem tight? Have a few other bolt actions in other calibers and they chamber easily
 
I had a new X-Bolt in 30-06 that had the same issue and also most brass cased ammo was hard to extract, nickel cased ammo was a little better. Some cases had to be "tapped /ramrodded" out I ended up sending it back to Browning for repair, but they did not disclose what actually was discovered.
