[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2885437, member: 10755"] I have a feeling you may have developed a carbon ring in the throat, give it a good soak with CLR and keep an eye on it in future… If this is not the cause, another thing to look at is a gummed up bolt internally, it may be full of carbon too if the loads you are using are dirty. I would disassemble my bolts after a weekend match, clean them with Shellite and re-grease them for the next match. This is often overlooked by many as a stiff internal bolt will cause issues. Do you use a lube on your lugs? If you are using tight chambering brass, this could also be shaving brass off the cases, making bolt rotation stiff… Cheers. [/QUOTE]
