7 prc

The Hornady Brass is not as thick at the web as Peterson or other brass. The web area is where the problem is. Are you measuring your shoulder bump or just resizing per the instructions with the dies?

As per the instructions

The reamer worked like magic on my Christensen Mesa Long range.
Now I can run ADG or Petersen or Hornady brass no problem.
I think to rent the reamer cost me $80,,,,easy peasy and I'm no gunsmith

Where did u rent it from and what tools are required?

 

[dukslayer4051]

Search Alex Wheeler and rent one of his reamers,,,,magic and literally 10 minute job.
Don't even have to take gun apart.
PM if you need help

Im curious about what steps and how and what tools. I'm worried I'd mess up my gun, I'm no gun Smith

Are you having problems with both rifles? I know from first hand experience that Bergaras have super rough chambers, I had one in 7RM and it was a nightmare, especially after it warmed up a bit.

He guys, I'm new to the prc world and last yr I picked up a bugara 7mm prc and this yr got a seekins 7prc. I'm having issues with reloads getting stuck in the breach after firing. I have heard there is a clicker issue. I wasn't familiar with that nor have I ever had any of these problems with my other rounds that I load. Is there a way that this could be diagnosed if there is an issue with the gun or is there something else I can do to my reloads to get past it?

What is your load info? bullet, brass, primer, powder?

Hornady brass
H1000 or Ramshot LRT
Hornady eldx 175gr
Federal 215
It doesn't matter how many grains of powder even minimum charge it has the same issue

I full length size my brass

As per the instructions

I would get a Hornady headspace comparator and see how much you are pushing the shoulder back from fired brass. You may not be resizing the brass enough. Do resized rounds chamber easily just not extract?

They cycle just fine until fired

I get the same thing even at minimal charges

That hard bolt lift part is what made me comment. I always get a little drag along with clickers, but not "hard" bolt lift.

Hard bolt lift, if truely hard, with low charges may be a secondary issue.

Trim length? Carbon ring?

No matter right now. You KNOW clickers are an issue and the resolution is well documented. Rent the AW reamer and get the clickers taken care of. If there is a secondary issue, it will be easier to identify as a single variable.

Similar issues for me. Factory Hornady ammo ran fine. As soon as I switched to Peterson brass I started having bolt lift issues although I did not have any stuck cases. After lots of research on this forum, I rented an AW reamer from charliehorse27 (on this site). The process is pretty straight forward and does not require advanced tools or advanced machining skills. The process was nerve-racking for me but I followed the instructions closely and went slow. The hard bolt lift was fixed and my hand loads shoot beautifully.
