Let me prologue by saying I'm not a gunsmith, nor reloader. We have been using factory loaded AA 120gr. Barnes and AA 120gr. Nosler. Here is the issue...
After being afield hunting, we return and have attempted to empty our rifles and found that it's extremely difficult to extract the live round from the chamber. We have raptor charging handles so luckily we can get two hands on it but have to practically pry the bolt back. On one occasion we worked hard to get the bolt back and when the case finally ejected the bullet had been pulled from the case approx. 1/4". Sounds to me like it was seated way too deep? This has happened in 3 of our Grendels, one of which was an AA built upper. Does this sound like an issue with round OAL? It's certainly not the rifle as all our rifles have experienced this issue. Any ideas or suggestions would help. We plan on measuring the remaining cartridges we have.
