Hi,
Hoping the reloaders here can help me with a problem.
I have a new Savage 110 Storm in 7mm-08. I've had a problem from the get-go with ammo that I reloaded being difficult to extract after firing. The rounds go in and come out prior to firing very easily. But after firing, the bolt is difficult to raise and once raised is difficult to extract the round. When it comes out, the brass has some ding marks right on the corner of the shoulder. I've trimmed the cases to spec (2.025") full length sized the brass, set the CAOL (2.750") well below max and still have 50% of the rounds stick after firing and come out with the ding marks on the shoulder. I'm well under the max load for H4895 at 40.0 grains. The primers don't look flattened, so I don't think it's a high pressure problem.
Would an eccentric die cause this? Perhaps the die isn't setting the shoulder back enough? Has anyone had this problem and maybe a reason for it? Not sure why there would be ding marks on the shoulder.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
