[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2306591, member: 60453"] I own at least 5 Remington 700's, and have shot up to 40-50 rounds in a session testing loads without any problem due to action heating. Friends of mine in the Army who have used the M24 action for years (long action blueprinted for accuracy) and have shot them in combat all over the mid-east in both .308win and 300WM have not had problems with them trying to lock up. I don't know about the Bagara action, however the Remington action only has problems if your handloads are really hot. Sticky bolt lift is generally because of excessive pressure. I have had experience with it in Ruger and Remington actions only when running loads at maximum powder charges, and usually only in military brass in the case of .308, 30-06 and fire-forming 35 Whelen from military 30-06 brass. Military brass in any caliber is thicker, generally, than civilian brass because it has to resist fire in automatic rifles and machine guns so it reaches maximum pressures with slightly lower powder charges and has to be watched closely at near max charges.
