I was at the range today with my Howa 1500 6.5 CM , a few times the bolt got stuck and it took many attempts to get it free.
is there an easy way of doing this and what is causing it ?
thanks in advance P.

Yep, I would also say most likely your load is too hot for that rifle.

Yep.
Sounds like you are loading it too hot.
Do you have ejector marks or other signs of high pressure?

To hot is my take.
Neither Hodgdon or Nosler even list 3031 for a 6.5 Creed on line
and top out slower powders around 36 gr.

Quick Loads puts that load at 74,000 psi. Is that a book load?

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

In looking at a couple of loading manuals, I don’t see IMR 3031 listed with any 100 grain bullets much less with 140 gr bullets. The fastest burning powder I see is Varget and the top load with Varget is only about 36 grs. Around 40-42 grains is tops with powders with burning rate of IMR and H-4350 so your load with 40 grains of 3031 is probably well over what it should be. If you don’t have a loading manual with Creedmoor data, you need to get one.
