[QUOTE="LittleMike, post: 1644610, member: 105232"] This happen today, I hand loaded 30 nosler, 30-06 cases ( fired 4x ) with 180gr Nosler Accubonds, - Oal to ogive 2.7020", - all cases were previously neck sized, - measured to shoulder 2.0455", - trim length 2.4855" - all primers below edge of pocket When I chamber the round, before I close the bolt the bolt seems to have a slight 'catch' sliding the bullet into the chamber. After I close the bolt and it doesn't seem to be a hard close, I have to struggle to raise the bolt back up. The WORST part is that after I raise the bolt I cannot pull it back, acts like it's jammed / stuck and I have to fight with it to eject the unfired round. Three timed I had to bang of the upraised bolt with a wood block to get it back. Most all the cases showed a scratch on the headstamp about half way to the primer all the way around forming a circular scratch. I did fire a couple of those sticky bolt rounds, no problem ejecting the case, bolt worked fine. This never happened before I don't understand it ... help appreciated [/QUOTE]
