I am reloading for my 300 Jarrett. I have been told, when resizing I should bump the shoulder back .002 ". The problem is, after they are fired, they get stuck in the chamber and are hard to get out. Any ideas or thoughts? Thanks
I would say that the shoulder is not your problem. Try to get a small base die and run your brass through that. I think your problem is in the base, close to the case head just ahead of the rim.

Are you saying that after you fire your handloads the bolt is stiff and hard to open? If that's the case, it sounds like you have exceeded max for your rifle and your loads are to hot. Or am I reading this all wrong and it is something else?

A stiff bold after you have fired a case, can be a sign of high pressure. Back-off a grain or two and see if the problem is not solved.
If the shoulder is not bumped back enough, the case will not chamber in the first instance. I take it you don't have any difficulty when chambering a case, so the problem doesn't lie with the shoulder.

If you "backed the die off" and it still chambered in your rifle I doubt you have any shoulder problem. If the head to shoulder measurement is to long it would not chamber not have hard extraction after firing.
What is the load you are shooting?
