[QUOTE="Seabeeken, post: 2552291, member: 68015"] True but by that time you are well over 70,000 psi depending on brass hardness. I had a similar issue with my 250AI using Alpha creedmoor brass. It turned out that my problem was 2 fold. The web was thicker than normal 250 brass and my load was hot enough to cause the head to swell just enough to cause the web area to stick in the chamber but not cause bolt swipe. The web was thick enough to protrude into the chamber and caused the sticking. I also had to use a rod to remove the brass as my extractor would either bend the rim or just ride over it. I should add that when I dropped the load to normal pressure, the issue went away. [/QUOTE]
