Best Answer

Not possible to answer at long distance, but if there are light firing pin strikes on the primer, a dirty unlubed weapon would be a good first choice. There are spray gun cleaners that can clean gunk, burnt powder, and dried oil from the firing pin channel, and under extractors. Clean the chamber as well. After cleaning, lightly lubricate, and try again. If that does not fix the problem, then you may have a broken or weak firing pin spring, or a damaged firing pin, and need a trip to the gunsmith.

It is not possible for you to have a "Model 97" in 30-06. The Winchester Model 97 is a shotgun, and was made in 12-gauge of 16-gauge. The only Winchester models that were or are chambered for the 30-06 rifle cartridge are the Model 54 bolt-action rifle, and the Model 70 bolt-action rifle series.
