*Mosin Nagant Ammo Problem (Need help)

[garsher]

Hey guys

I just bought a 20 pack of some Military surplus stuff, full metal jacket, silver tip.

I went out to the range last saturday, and I fired the first round... I tried to pull the bolt up and it wouldn't unlock. So I just placed the gun, with the bolt facing down on the bench and just put all my weight on it, it finally unlocked and the bullet case lost it's shineyness.

Does it happen to your guys' guns too? What can i do to stop this problem? It's essentially a sticky bolt problem, how do i get rid of it, it's really bad.

Thats the ammo I use, left one is brass case, right is the military stuff.
