This was based on how beat up my cases were after firing and a very stiff bolt. I got lots of possible solutions and they were all based on sound reasoning. Today I went to the range with one more attempt to solve the issue before I pulled the barrel. I immediately got a case failure so I stopped and started taking things apart.
