[QUOTE="tinman13kup, post: 872982, member: 36220"] If you are having to beat the bolt open you really should make sure it's not an overpressure situation. By polishing the chamber, the case doesn't grip as well during firing and transfers that load back to the bolt lugs, as stated above. It can also be caused from the case itself. If the shoulder isn't bumped back or the neck is allowed to grow, the cam action of the bolt will cause the case to become stuck. Firing the round won't help the matter either, and if it was the neck being too long, dangerous pressure spikes could happen. A tight chamber could also give you some hassles. I would recommend to be thorough in the troubleshooting before jumping into any "fixes". [/QUOTE]
