[QUOTE="ravot22, post: 1328959, member: 74896"] I'm shooting a Savage 10 FCP-RS in 6.5CM. It's a brand new rifle. During my first trip to the range, I had difficulty pulling the bolt to the rear after shooting a round. I DIDN'T have difficulty lifting the bolt, I had difficulty pulling the bolt to the rear. I have no issues ejecting a round that has NOT been fired. I was zeroing the rifle with my reloads. I'm shooting a 140 partition over 39grains of H4350. Thirty nine grains is right in the middle of the factory recommended max and min powder weight. I using virgin Hornandy brass. I use a Redding full length sizing die with a Redding competition bullet seater. I noticed during seating bullets, a small amount of bullet brass being scraped off by the case of the mouth of the cartridge. (Never seen that before). I'm not seeing any signs of pressure on fired cases. Any suggestions would be helpful. [/QUOTE]
