[QUOTE="Gills, post: 2298403, member: 105558"] Hello. I have a new fierce rifle in 28 nosler with a 26 inch barrel. I started the barrel break in last night with some light loads. I have once fired adg brass, wlrm primers, 91 gr us869 powder, 150gr partitions( just the bullet I am using to get a close zero and barrel break in with). I fired around 7 shots, with three of them my bolt was extremely hard to open it lifted easy but had to be jarred a bit to get it moving back. I measured these cases and there is no difference what so ever between them and the ones that didn’t stick. They are all under length by a few thousands. They have zero sign of pressure. What could have caused this. Could be just a real tight chamber with a high polish? Could have the brass needed to be cleaned more? Or do I need to be looking in a different place all together. I have some new brass I was going to put a few rounds in just to see if they stuck in comparison to the once fired. What do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
