[QUOTE="Innovative, post: 1521200, member: 527"] Lots of shooters try to pull the bolt back hard when a fired round gets stuck in the chamber. Like most rifles, the Rem 700 bolt [U][B]first[/B][/U] needs to be lifted "all the way" up. Other things to consider: - Lube the unlocking cam on your bolt (at the rear). - Remove all traces of sizing lube from your handloads. - Do NOT over-polish your chamber. - Verify the headspace (clearance) that your rounds have in YOUR chamber. - Compare the diameter of your cases at the pressure ring, and see if this is your problem. Too many "custom" chambers are too tight at the body. When a round is chambered . . . . it's already a press fit. [/QUOTE]
