308 Norma Mag problems
I need help, I have an old springfield that was rechambered to a 308 Norma, the proplem is after the rifle is shot the brass comes out of the chamber ok but is stuck on the end of the bolt. If you just run un unfired round through the action it works fine.

Help me

The load Is a Norma factory load with 180 grain I don't the details of the load.

I noticed when I bull the bolt back very hard and fast it will kick out the empty, but there is a small gash at the base of shell

Measure the bolt face diameter. It might be a little tight. Not uncommon.

Another thing to measure would be the belt of an unfired case and the belt of a fired case just to see if you are getting excessive expansion (pressure).
