When I got my 7mm RM I got a bunch of Hornady brass. I've fired some of them a couple times now and every time, no matter how hot I load them, they stick in the chamber. The bolt turns up just as easy as you could hope for but it can be difficult to pull rearward. There are no pressure signs on the brass, not even flattened primers. There are also little scratches on the brass that I thought were from the magazine. I tried some Federal Premium factory rounds with nickel plated brass and they eject just fine without any scratches. I've heard about the belted magnum Colette resizing die, but I haven't had any problems chambering rounds, it's only after firing them that they become problematic. Is Hornady brass just not good? I feel like for the price, it should at least function smoothly. Am I insane? I have gotten some excellent results as far as accuracy and MV variation with this brass. I'd hate to not be able to use it for anything except punching paper. I'm not going to use brass that I can't quickly eject. Thanks in advance for any input
