Wondering if anyone has had any extraction problems with a Rem 700 action?
I have a 30-06 shooting Lapua brass with a stout load. Rounds chamber fine both. Bolt lifts up just fine after firing (bolt lift feels same if I fire the round or don't fire the round). BUT, when I try to pull the bolt back it is near impossible.
After looking at a lot of images showing various pressure signs I really don't think I am at some wild pressure. And if I was, I'd guess the bolt would be hard to lift (which is not the case).
Some googling turned up results of folks with Rem 700 actions and a problem with Primary Extraction. One result was even a person that only experienced this with Lapua brass.
Curious if anyone else has come across it.
If anyone has gunsmith recommendations who are adept at working on Rem 700s I'd be interested in hearing who they are.
I have fired about 10 rounds and just beat the holy hell out of the bolt hand to get it back. The skeletoned bolt handle is a bit compromised now. Would rather not carry a hammer with this rifle while hunting.
Thanks!
