[QUOTE="Nicholas, post: 52298, member: 281"] Hi guys, I have been successfully reloading for my 308 win for the last few months, and my loads have been excellent out to 1000 yards. I would like to thank everyone for their help and advice and at the same time discuss another issue I am having. I am using a relatively light load of 43 grains of Varget with 175 grain Sierra's. Some of my Lapua brass that has been loaded five times is starting to cause the bolt to stick upon ejection. Eight out of the eleven shots I fired with the brass was sticky. I also shot a bunch of other Lapua brass that had been loaded less than 5 times without any problems? I am wondering what is causing this? There are no cracks in the case and the primer pockets are okay. Before I loaded them I checked to see if there was a donut forming inside the neck but couldn't see any. Although I didn't see a donut in the cases I believe that there could be one forming that is causing the excess pressure, what do you guys think?? [ 09-13-2002: Message edited by: sr90 ] [/QUOTE]
