[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1184680, member: 13632"] When your running at the top or your cases are getting tight it takes very little to cause the issue. I've seen moisture in a chamber do this on several occasions, when you don't have the case walls gripping the chamber that case slams the bolt at the full pressure your running with and it will definitely give you bolt lift, I shoot some rifles that you want moisture in the bore for fowling but if much of that gets in your chamber you'll lock up or separate a case. In what the OP wrote the heavy bolt lift was on a case that was sticky with lube, not really a hard to trouble shoot situation especially when you have a number of the same load running fine then you get to a lubed case and then trouble. We went through this several years ago and when the shooter and several others tested it to verify a little water was all that was needed to recreate the situation, not saying it 100% that but I would definitely not dismisses it!
