A couple weeks ago I loaded up 20 rounds of '06, two different recipes below a 130gr NBT. The brass was Remington had been twice fired through the same Remington 700, once from the factory and one as a reload.
I use a Lee Challenger press and Lee RGB dies.
While trying to put them downrange, I found I could not get the bolt to close on 6 of the 20 reloads. The rest chambered and fired as expected, with no resistance on closing the bolt...but nothing was doing with these 6.
I've never had this happen with any of my other reloads (22-250, 243, & 270), and I use RGB dies on the 243 and 270.
What does this mean? Is it a headspace issue, or something else?
Thanks for the help...
