[QUOTE="ropeNshoot, post: 1155092, member: 70717"] I'm shooting a Rem 700 in .300WM. It has the 26" 5r barrel. My load is WW brass, 76gr H1000, WLRM primer, 208 AMax bullet and a COAL of 3.420". The load has proven accurate in my rifle. Making one hole groups at 100yds and 4" groups at 500yds shooting off a backpack. The problem... I ran out of loaded rounds so I made more. About 100 more. But I used once fired Rem brass. Probably shouldn't have switched but I had it on hand. The bolt was quite sticky when I ejected the fired cases. Rubber mallet sticky. I knew there was a problem so I went home and pulled a bunch of bullets and the powder charges were correct. So I loaded ten more in WW brass thinking that's all it is. This brass had been fired five times before. The first two shots left cases stuck in chamber, same as the ones in Rem brass. So I put those away and fired three different brands of factory ammo and it was perfect. No problems. Is my FL sizing die out of adjustment? Would the Hornady headspace gauge kit show me what is out of whack? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
