Ok, I have a Savage 111LRH in 338 Lapua. I am shooting 300 gr. Bergers with 88.6 grains of Retumbo. I zeroed the rifle in mid. 80 degree temp. did not have a single problem. Took the rifle elk hunting 2019 season in mid. 30 degree temps, and it locked the brass in the chamber. The brass was stuck so hard I had to use a metal rod and a hammer to get it out. Rifle and ammo were out in the air for several minutes before the shot. I am thinking that it could be a carbon ring, because I did not clean the bore and chamber after zeroing.
