[QUOTE="MUP, post: 5386416, member: 4380"] Here's another instance I've encountered with a 300 WinMag. I was loading for a '71 model 700 WinMag, using RP brass, RL 22, and 180 gr NBTs. I was working up a test group when I encountered a sticky bolt. I thought hmmm, that's odd, I'm still a full 2 grains below [I]book[/I] [I]max[/I], so, thinking it was just an odd event, I fired the next round of the same charge. Same result, hard bolt lift. This could also be the same situation you're in, that the powder charge you're using is just too much for the chamber specs of this particular rifle. I'd lower it by a full 2 grains and see what happens, then go from there. [/QUOTE]
