[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2925566, member: 116181"] When a case expands above the web too much relative to the chamber walls the rifle "clicks" as the bolt pops through primary extraction and into the receiver. Similar feeling to if you've ever shot a slightly wet or oiled round and had to work real hard to get the bolt open after firing. It became a huge fight on the internets with the 300 PRC design. The solution came on the chambers side with a slightly larger reamer designed by Alex Wheeler and mercifully released to the public. Once brass is made it's easier to cut a chamber slightly larger than deal with every case manufactured up to that point being 0.002" oversized in the web to start with. TL;DR - Hornady made a goof in their maths and the rifle clicks every time you open it. [/QUOTE]
