[QUOTE="Koda_, post: 2864274, member: 121268"] it wont be carbon sintering that causes a sticky bolt. A sticky bolt will only be overpressure or a case thats only been neck sized too many times. A carbon ring in the chamber will still feed smoothly because each cycle naturally wears with the size of the case neck. A carbon ring can cause pressure issues (sticky bolt) but that would likely show up with other ammo and your new brass which you said runs fine. All symptoms so far, to my knowledge, point to you not full length sizing your brass every few firings. Thats a well known issue with neck sizing only. [/QUOTE]
