Loading 308 for an m1a. The load is 42.5gr of 4064, Winchester primers and 168smk, prvi brass, col is 2.800, no crimp. I checked the primers and don't see any flattening but looks like an extractor mark on the brass. I had been getting failures to pick up rounds at 42gr, since it was at the lower end of the charge I thought I was getting short bolt cycle so I increased the load to 42.5. The last round I fired was not extracted, I could not pull the op rod back. I came home and took the rifle apart to see if the op rod was bent but it looked ok. Once I got it in a vise I was able to pull the op rod back and the case extracted. I don't see anything that looks abnormal, case and primer look ok. I dble checked my charge and col, I also went back to imr site, no where near max load. I might have has 75rounds through it so I don't think it was a dirty chamber. One more comment, after the round was fired the bolt was not completely home. I could not push it home or pull it back until I put it in a vise.
