Did you ever get this fixed? I have the EXACT same problem. In temps under 45 degrees, the bolt sticks about 1/3 of the way to closed. The flipper pushes the next shell up, but the bolt is so slow it can't slam the new shell into the chamber. It is NOT a problem with the recoil spring on my gun, this has been addressed. Its also not a problem with a bad mount. I've tried heavy shells shot from a rock solid mount and still get the problem. The gun is very clean, but not lubed at all. Its about a 9 yr old SBE 1.
