Basically I cant bring the bolt back all the way when I put a empty mag in and slowly bring bolt back or decently hard as well. ( The bolt is binding with the mag lips im guessing) When I put a snap cap however in, the bolt does not bind or have problems. The rifle is brand new. Does it need to get wore in/is this somewhat normal? there is no problems with operating the bolt with no mag as well.

That sounds very unusual. I'd contact Springfield and let them know.

Run a few hundred rounds through the rifle and report back. You don't often pull the bolt back on a empty mag.

^The gun will do it every time the mag runs dry. And it might prevent the bolt from coming back far enough to lock back.
