Running on the ragged edge, you are eventually going to have a problem, and you did. You are lucky all it was is a broken extractor. Load hot if you want to, it is your gear and face, but don't pooh pooh the warnings provided here by saying you got away with it for 300 rounds.

reamer spec is .532 at the .200 line
So if your fired brass is coming in at .5335
Its jamming in the chamber at this spot
I'll guarantee you that not all of your brass is sized down at the base to the same diameter
Unless your using high end dies like bullet central ones, they arent sizing the brass much if any at the 200 line

@FireFlyFishing factory shot great. No pressures, no hard bolt in or out, and shot .3 MOA.
I think you're right I'm going to start with some new brass. Something is definitely wrong with the brass. I had a few I didn't even shoot cause I had some resistance closing the bolt

I think we're getting it narrowed down here....
It's hard to argue with 0.3 MOA results.

I measured the two cases I didn't shoot because of resistance when trying to shut bolt. The measurements at Dantum, headspace, and COL is the same as all the others that did feed ok.

thats not what is causing the cases to jam

These dies dont size much at the base of the case
What they said above about the prc chamber is a real deal. You can search for it on here. I'm not sure that is what is causing the pressure spike but it definitely can cause chambering issue. That and the fact that you are way out there on pressure. Even loading long your 200 fps over the powder makers data. Powder makers in general pressure test all their loads. Bullet makers not as much.

lots of info here
do your die fit your chamber is a good one
same with te clicker one
It's actually a known issue with the 7/6.5PRC at the shoulder/neck junction. Erik Cortina makes a die that will fix this issue......IMO you are still over pressure on the powder charge.

I would be taking a lot of measurements and comparing it to the saami reamer specs

@Marky_mark do you think carbon ring would have anything to do with it? I wouldn't think so since it's only a here and there
