I have a Mossberg 4x4 in .300 Win Mag and I have been experiencing misfires. The problem occurs with factory loads (Winchester Super X) as well as shells I have reloaded. If I take the gun from my house and go immediately to the range and shoot I do not have issues, but if I go into the woods to hunt and sit on stand for a couple of hours (25-45 degrees F) then the gun misfires. I was able to get a second attempt at one of the deer and the gun fired perfectly. I have contacted Mossberg and they want me to return the gun for a technical diagnostic and have even stated that there has been a headspacing issue with Winchester ammo.
I experienced a misfire the very first time I tried to fire the rifle, but it has performed well all other times as long as I shoot it within 15 minutes of leaving my home. Is it possible that the colder weather is causing some parts to contract and this is causing my misfires? I have contemplated removing the bolt and placing it in the freezer to see if this shows me anything.
