I've got a brand new T3 LH in 300wsm.
With starting loads of 4 different powders I'm getting cases sticking in the chamber after firing. The bolt handle would lift without any issue, the cases just didn't want to be pulled out of the chamber. One or two I had to knock the bolt back with a chunk of wood.
This is brand new Winchester brass that was full length sized and trimmed to length. Bullet used was a Nosler 180 Accubond.
I'm using a Hornady die set. OAL was exactly what the Nosler book listed.
Powders were RL 17, H380, H414, and H4831. Primers are CCI magnum rifle.
There are not ANY pressure signs that I can see.
After full length sizing, I chambered one of the pre-stuck brass, and it still is "sticky".
I can't figure out what would cause this.
I am ready to send it back to Tikka after I shoot a few factory loads first.
Anybody have some input for me?
