[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 659167, member: 1290"] Unfired stuck cases are caused by dirt or fouling in the chamber, improperly sized cases, Trying to use a case that was fired in another rifle. A sizing die is not capable of sizing all the way to the shell holder and if the case was fired in another gun with a loose chamber it may have a slight buldge or anyways end up larger than the gun you are trying to put it in and since the sizer can't get quite down far enough you may feel some resistance as the bolt closes and with the so slight taper it wedges into the gun under the pressure of the ramp on the lugs and they are way stronger than the extraction cam can pull, or the rim the extractor has to pull on.
