[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1922437, member: 1521"] A spirited discussion! An alternate condition description for 'clicker' is 'popping extraction' (often accompanied with sound). This is typically the result of fired cases left in interference fit with the chamber, but a poorly timed bolt to extraction ramp can contribute to the difficulty in it. Big chamber clearances or small, and removing said timing issue, I'm sure the main culprit behind this issue is insufficient breech support for the cartridge & load. Very common.. And I'll add to this: If intent to run hot loads with a hunting capacity cartridge, AND solve this issue, then prepare to go THAT direction with planned action, chamber reamer, and custom dies. Otherwise, off-the-shelf/factory combinations prove unforgiving pretty consistently. And in the entire history of reloading, oversizing of brass has never actually solved anything. For instance; You can squish the life out of cases to get extraction -but then how are you going to workaround losing more cases to opening primer pockets? Can't squish pockets back.. [/QUOTE]
