308 Reloads At Work - Thanks AirGatorBob!

Only "bad" thing I noticed on the reloads:

after the shot, it's harder to open the bolt to eject the brass.

I don't know why but there must be a reason.

Was that on all the loads?

Yes on all reloads. But fine on factory: Federal Gold Medal Match 175gr.
It's just that after the shot when I opened bolt with regular strength, the bolt handle stopped half way. Then I have to use some force to life it to open the chamber window to eject the brass.

No problem... sounds like a tight chamber or an issue with the case rims. I'd not worry about it. On the MAX weight load, I had to use slightly more force too to open my bolt.
