Spanky (ya gotta love that name!):

I just finished editing my reply to your extraction query. If turning the loaded cartridge in the chamber makes it stick, it sounds like you either have a mild case buckling problem like Mal H mentioned, or a case of really serious bullet runout (tilt).

The no-problem bulge we're discussing should not noticeably affect the feeding of rounds from the magazine. Nor should it affect how smoothly the fired case extracts and ejects.

Can you get a picture of the afflicted ammo posted either on this board or in e-mail to us? If your computer is less than 2 years old, you probably have some video/still capture software bundled along with it. Just add a camcorder and you're in business to create a .bmp or whatever...

We sometimes forget that the ogive of the bullet can jam in the throat if there is too much bullet tilt... But if tilt were the only problem, it should not be a factor on ejection, IME & IMO.
