[QUOTE="Canuck308, post: 1815541, member: 102016"] I recently had this start happening on my Bergara - 6.5 CM have been shooting it for 2 yrs. Factory ammo is on the tighter side to close the bolt (not hard just firm - always has been). Prior to a month ago reloads were the same as factory. Now fired brass (Peterson 4x, Winchester, Hornady & Federal 1x) FL resized (once, twice and three times in case of "spring back") is tough to close (even with die all the way down, and trying several dies). Even empty cases do this. Cases are all trimmed, de-burred and chamfered. I am wondering if there may be build up on the receiver where the lugs lock in or a carbon ring in the chamber/throat?
