Normally a sticky bolt is associated with excessive pressure, and the case stuck in the chamber seems to support that theory.

As for Wolf ammo, it's not the Wolf bullet that's the problem, it's the steel case which I won't allow to abuse my extractor.

Yes, I know, some folks shoot it by the case. Seems to be, otherwise, reasonbly good practice ammo.

I had a M700 .223 that I handloaded to push a 55 gr. bullet at about 3100 fps. About factory velocity.

I chronographed some PMC 5.56mm 193 ball ammo loaded to military specs through the gun and velocity exceeded 3500 fps! That's .22-250 vel. Save military ammo for military rifles.
