Usually if you find the bolt opens fairly easily and it gets hard to open up high it is the base of the case has not been sized enough, maybe neck sized and needs partial FL sizing. Now if the bolt is hard to close all the way down it is long headspace and the neck/shoulder needs a bump to make life easier.
cleatus2506, your smith must have used a really small dimention reamer on your chamber. I had to buy a SB 243 FL die to size the base enough on my 6BR. My S-type Redding FL die will bump the shoulder but not size the base enough.
