    Rifle Scopes Which Vortex PST ?????????????

    Stiff bolt lift

    I am using 338 Remington Ultra Mag brass. I notice that after I have fired my brass several times that I begin to get a stiff bolt lift. If I use the same lot of brass that is new, I do not have this problem. Yes I am full length resizing. Your thoughts appreciated.
