Have a Stevens 325b bolt action. when I fire the the gun the casing is extremely hard to extract. The live run fits in the chamber just fine, but when I fire the gun, the casing expands (bottom half) and take 2 hands on the bolt and a lot of pull to extract the casing. When i try to put the fired casing back in the chamber it gets stuck half way? Any Ideas? Thanks
