I was wondering what causes your bolt to be hard or not close at all ,after reloading your ammo. i asked a few people at the range one guy said your cases are not resized right and someone else told me its your over all lenth or your bullet ,does anyone really know what causes this
For a problem like this, you really need the proper tools to diagnose. You need to measure the the distance to hit your lands. You could be shoving the bullet in lands and grooves. You can do this with a split case or stoney point OAL gauge.
Are you shooting brass from someone else's guns or new brass? That can cause you issues there. A Stoney point head and shoulders gauge can help you with that.
do you have a set of calibers? You can compare a fire formed piece of brass to what it is after you size.
