Have a savage 110 tactical 300 win with 80rnds through it now. Working up handloads with hornady brass 208gr eldm cci magnum primer H1000. Seating them .020 off coal of 3.59. Was working my way from 78-79 grains and got sticky extraction on 78.7 and 79gr loads. Bolt lift was normal primers not flat and no other indication of pressure. 79grs produced a 5shot group of .667" at 100yds really low es&sd avg 3052fps. 78grs produced a .570 group with low es &sd but not quite as low as the higher charge. Ive had sticky bolt lift from overpressure rounds but never sticky extraction. This was 3rd firing of these cases and they have always just had the shoulders bumped back .02. Maybe its time to anneal and fl size them?
