I asked this question on ARFCOM, but apparently it's a dog and pony show 90% of the time, so I figured one of you guys could enlighten me.
I just received my bolt back from being fluted by Karl at Campfeld and was enjoying a nice range session.
I was trying to complete my load data until I was firing a group of loads and got a sticky bolt.
My first thought was overpressure, however the load wasn't real hot (43.5 grains IMR 4064, BR2 primer, and 2.800 COAL).
It was my last reload so I decided to shoot a group of BH 168's. Sticky bolt again. I mean really sticky.
I used my boot and tapped it out, then stripped the bolt. My firing pin spring makes an ever so slightly S wave all the way down. The inside of the bolt body is clean. The bolt was cleaned then re-greased before installation into the rifle.
When I took it home, I started to dry fire it. The lift gradually got tighter until I had to use my boot again.
At this point, I have no idea, and Remington says they've never heard of it. The rifle (AAC-SD) has exactly 240 rounds on it, and not very old.
Any help is appreciated!
