[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1527254, member: 90080"] Make sure the threads on the bolt shroud and cocking ramp are well lubricated with grease. It's not unusual for new bolts to be a bit stiff on cocking. On the new brass, I'd be sure to FL resize and make sure it fits your chamber. Just pull firing pin and ejector, then see if bolt will drop free when chambering your new brass. If it doesn't, resize/ bump shoulder til it does. I'd guess that what you're seeing is brass shavings coming off your new cases. You could be getting that from excessive OAL rubbing end of chamber. You need to find your max OAL of chamber. I'm just guessing here, but that could be causing your over-pressure. [/QUOTE]
