[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 667047, member: 24624"] He needs to quit shooting the rifle until he figures this out. If the bolt binds with factory ammo, then something is wrong with the chamber/bolt/headspace. It shouldn't be that hard to measure every aspect of the fired and unfired case to see where the brass is growing/binding. Digital calipers are inexpensive as is a set of sinclair or hornady headspace inserts. SAMMI prints are available online. Check the headspace like others suggested. You can rent a set of go/no-go gauges from reamerrentals.com. Remember to remove your ejector so you get a better feel. You can even do a chamber cast if necessary. If you're still not sure, take it to a smith (possibly the one that did the last rebarrel) to check it out. -- richard [/QUOTE]
