[QUOTE="dkhunt14, post: 998922, member: 14053"] That is a good article but shooting hot loads is not the only way you can get sticky bolt. There is also a difference between a hot load making opening of the bolt hard or a bolt click. In bolt click the bolt will usually open part way easily and near the top of lift it gets real hard like a pop or click. This is caused by the sizing die not sizing the base of the case not enough or at all. It happens when it hits the extaction part. Usually this condition will not show up until the second or third firing because it takes more then one firing to get to this condition just like it does to get sharp shoulders on a fireformed case Like a 6 Dasher. Dies need to match the reamer. Matt [/QUOTE]
