After my last dilemma with the 30-06 I changed loads and ended up with shorter cartridges (long story). Anyhow, the new shorter loads won't feed right at all. The bolt only goes to a certain point just shy of where I could close it and then is extremely hard to eject again. Any ideas? Maybe at $10.00/ box i should just leave this one to the pros.

Just guessing,I would start over with new brass and make sure the shoulder is not pulling back.I had a similer problem last summer my first time reloading the 308.Got help here and everything worked out fine.i had to back off on my FL resizeing die a little and slightly lube the neck mouth so it wouldnt drag coming back thru.Dont give up it sounds like something simple but i wouldnt mess with a too short case and dont force nothing or guess/take chances.Always seek advice & Take -check case measurements and cartridge overall length to the manual specs.
Good Luck!

You're one hell of a good guesser! I took one of the problem loads and after pulling the bullet tried to close the bolt on said brass, no dice. Fortunately this problem was only with a few brass so pulled those just now. Great stress releiver! Thanks alot.

P.S The brass can then be resized and work just fine.
