I have a Browning A bolt 7 Mag . As far as I know the only thing I know that was done to the Gun is that it was glass bedded by a local gunsmith in own hear. Last time I shot it I noticed it was extremely hard to open the bolt after firing the rifle . I cleaned it very well . And nothing has changed . Same Factory loads iv always used. Any ideas?????

Leave any oil in the chamber?

I always run a patch of remoil after I clean all my guns . Could that cause the sticking. I mean that baby is stuck fast. I had to slam it open with the palm of my hand? Way to hard to be oil I would think.

I like the foam cleaners too.
If the factory ammo is to spec it should not be hanging up in your chamber. Thus the reason I thought the chamber might have some oil in left in it after cleaning as that could cause the case to stick due to the different expansion characteristic in the chamber vs. that of a dry chamber.
If this was the first round you fired after cleaning the barrel, it might explain it. If you fired several then it does not.
If the rifle is in good working order and still safe to shoot, why not try a different brand or lot of ammo and see what happens?
