[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1184578, member: 28965"] Lifting the bolt straight up is primary extraction and is to break the case free of the chamber walls. When the bolt is hard to lift it means the case is still sticking to the chamber walls. And the Hodgdons loading data shows you are 4 grains over maximum. On top of this neck sizing only doesn't give your brass any extra "spring back" from the chamber walls that full length resizing will. Another problem is the expansion just above the belt where the belted magnum collet die is needed to reduce the base diameter. There is no free lunch at maximum loads and the brass takes a pounding. And even at lower loadings if you have softer brass you can have problems.
