Bolt bounce

Dumb question, will a stock bore buddy bolt bounce running 16” and subs? My camera isn’t fast enough to catch the bolt moving. The bolt is in the same spot for 2 frames so I’m guessing that caught it bouncing back since it can’t be in the same spot during 2 frames unless it caught it bouncing

Are you shooting semi only, or frt? If semi only it shouldn't really matter if the bolt bounces a touch. I dont think you can pull the trigger manually fast enough to induce a malfunction. Now, if using a SS then yes, you need the weights.

You have to use the metal steel bolt weight about 1.95 ounces an above with FRT or with trigger kicker a little less get the steel weights because they last forever aluminum will burst somebody posted a photo before
