[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 2854008, member: 13833"] Clickers is a term which comes from the bolt resisting initial extraction on rotation which causes a click at the very top because you are applying extra pressure on the bolt handle. Its caused by the case swelling too far and gripping the chamber. It happens because you don't have enough initial sizing on the brass web (lack of clearance) or is also caused by an overload. If an overload is involved, it will likely have an extractor mark on the case head by that time and have a flattened primer. [/QUOTE]
