Had no problem with this rifle until recently. It's chambered in 30-06 Spg. I loaded 10 rounds 5 different loads for a 165 gr JSP in once fired, completely processed brass. Different HS mostly RP and winchester. The loads were slightly more than starting loads according to Lee and Ammoguide guidance. I crimped them in a bit. COL was 3.25" some space before the rifling. on three of the five loads the bolt stuck completely. I cound rotate up but it would not pull back. I had to put a cleaning rod down the barrel and tap the bolt back with a hammer. I had not completely cleaned the gun before firing. I took out the bolt and cleaned the wee wee out of everything. I put the brass that had stuck back in the chamber to see if it was ok and , when I closed the bolt it did it again, stuck tight. I tapped it free, put an unfired full sized brass case in and it cycled out, ejecting fine. When I would tap the stuck brass out it would also eject properly once the rod was pulled out. What gives? is it the brass or the gun? Did I overcrimp and cause the neck or case to expand so much it jammed? I talked to a gunsmith and he said "sticky bolt" it's a gun problem. But unfired brass cycled just fine. Ain't shooting it again 'till I resolve the prob.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
