[QUOTE="winmag, post: 620261, member: 22166"] Could be excess headspace issue maybe. As the brass expands the shoulder would "slam" into the front of the chamber. This could cause hard bolt lift toward the end of the bolt throw upon extraction. Maybe it could be a sloppy chamber too, & it could be swelling the case slightly at the base, where the case head meets the case wall. Those rifles weren't exactly known for tight tolerances. I'm just taking a shot in the dark here. I'm no gunsmith. [/QUOTE]
