hard bolt closing and opening

At the range today my Savage 300WSM fired a shotgun pattern. The bolt closed hard and opened harder. 150 grain spitzer bullets about 3100 fps, not hot just warm loads. OAL was 2.80. I noticed the hard bolt closing and opening the last time I shot it too. At home I cleaned the chamber with a brush and it did not seem dirty. Ran the spent cases through my Lee full length sizer and test chambered the empty sized ctg cases...same thing - hard bolt closer and opening. I checked the depth setting on the sizer die and it was spot on. Checked the ctg case length and shoulder length and they were right. This brass (WW cases) has been reloaded maybe 4-5 times but is in good shape visually. Any ideas? I have a similar problem with my Savage in 2506 caliber however with those I use a collet die that does not full length resize and they have been reloaded a few more times.
