Have the cam effect of a bolt action. Ammo has to be right for the chamber.

Is your ammo factory stuff? The varying dimensions of many of the old rounds is tremendous.

The 404 is also not the greatest design for the #1. I'd try some different ammo if it's available?

I usually start neck sizing with a FL Size Die and stop when the action closes with a slight resistance. For hunting ammo, I go .002" more for 100% positive chambering.

Feeding the #1s can call for a little extra effort, but worth it every time.

Congrats on an uncommon one...
