[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 212854, member: 1290"] That load calls for a magnum primer in all my books and with my 22-250 I have been as high as 42 grains behind a 50 grain bullet. I only use magnum primers in every gun I have and have never had an issue with them. I really doubt the use of the magnum primer has anything to do with what is going on here. Will the brass set into the bolt behind the extractor when the bolt is out of the action? When you place your brass into the gun are you feeding it from the magazine or just tossing them in there where the extractor has to jump the lip. All my repeating rifles are much harder to close up when the extractor is jumping the rim rather than feeding from the magazine. It could be something up with your extractor. brass shavings could be fouling something and not letting it have full travel. If they extracted easy they should go right back into the chamber easy. Have you tried just doing a partial full length resize. Run the die down to the shell holder then back it up 3/4 to 1 full turn. I never bump shoulders and never have trouble. I only use Lee Collet neck dies for all my rifle loading. I do feel a little resistance on the bolt after a few firings but I know that I have a perfectly fitted case for my rifle. Keep your lugs clean and well greased and it will never be a problem. It almost sounds like the brass is being expanded by pushing the shoulders back too far when you are resizing. Try the partial full length size and let us know. [/QUOTE]
