That's because there is nothing holding the bolt closed, once the trigger breaks. It does not mean the gun is defective in any way. Also the more recoil there is the more the slide wants to move rearward, it's not the gases directly blowing the action open. And the Whelen will has the most recoil of any 7600. I was getting just over 2600fps with 250g bullets, in summer weather, more like. 2540 in hunting season.
