[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 723518, member: 5302"] I've seen instances where a normal load in a round fired in a chamber where the bolt face is way out of square, the case head gets out of square and the bolt binds when it's opened. When the high point of the case head aligns with the high point of the bolt face (opposite from the low point at the fired case head's high point when fired), there's not enough clearance; the bolt binds. Especially if the case walls are uneven in thickness to cause more stretching on their thin side that just happens to be aligned with the bolt face's low point in its out of square condition.
