I just went to the range to work up a load for my 300 WinMag.
200 grn Berger hybrids with H1000 in GW brass that's on it's 3rd firing.
The very first shot at 75 grains resulted in the bolt being extremely hard to unlock. The case has a shiny angled ring right down near the belt.
I kept working up and didn't have it happen again until 1 shot at 77 grains. Still no other pressure signs.
Is this an issue with resizing? What's going on? Can I continue working up a bit more safely? Is this issue going to screw up my load development?
