[QUOTE="aghunter, post: 2554249, member: 117433"] I have a new 300WM Christensen Ridgeline that I am beginning load development on. First order of business was to find the lands by removing the extractor/firing pin, starting a bullet seated long and seating it shorter until resistance is not felt (wheeler method). My issue is that even when the bullet is obviously out of the lands and seated much shorter than SAMMI, the bolt is very hard to pull rearward. The bolt lift is effortless. I am stumped. The bolt operates normally with loaded factory ammo and empty brass without a bullet seated. Once a bullet is seated and loaded the bolt is very hard to pull rearward. This is all unfired brass/bullets as the gun has yet to be fired. Does anyone have any ideas. What am I missing? [/QUOTE]
