Below is a picture of new build named Ares. 26" Criterion barrel 300 Win Mag in a Choate stock with a 6-24 Vortex PST. Cerakoted in OD Green and Magpul FDE. Took it out for a spin for the first time yesterday and today. I bought quite a bit of once fired brass, all same RP head stamp. Using Forster Dies, I full length sized them all, and trimmed to the same length. Currently I'm working up loads to see what he likes best. Problem is, about 1/4 - 1/3 of the brass stick in the chamber. The rifle is headspaced properly using Forster go/no go gauges. I can take the fired brass and feed the ones in and out that fired without a problem, but the nuisance brass feed in just fine but require a mallet to tap the bolt back. The bolt lifts without a problem, just won't move rearward. This happens regardless of powder charges so it's not over pressured. Any ideas? Brass or rifle?
