[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 616375, member: 13833"] If the cases have shoulder dents after firing, that can be too slow burning powder. I had a LOT of trouble with all of my 300 Rums with cases sticking badly after 2 or three firings and they weren't over loads. These large base diameter cases "of lower quality" tend to expand easily at the web and spring back to only .001" clearance after full length sizing. This will cause it to stick every time! Factory loads come with approx. .005" clearance. The brass on the bolt is something else? That could even be from a round that chambers very stiffly which is common with the above scenario. Try measuring your case after full length sizing a case that has been fired about three times and see what it measures?. I have a feeling that with Lapua brass, the problem would go away..... rich [/QUOTE]
