That's a sign of a too much pressure. Back your loads off a little bit and the problem should go away.

I had the same problem, after one shot there was enough fouling to increase the pressure to stick the bolt. I backed off two grains and never had another problem.
Not to sound like an ass but you should read a reloading book or two..If you are gonna get near max loads you needs to know how and what to look for max pressure signs...

That could have been said more tactfully. It is a good idea to start at minimum loads and work your way up. I believe all reloading manuals are adamant about this. You never know if you have a tight chamber in your gun or are using brass with less space capacity or a number of things that can increase your pressure.
A sticky bolt is a sure sign of excessive pressure. The good news is you found out before causing any damage to yourself or your rifle.

Sorry I hurt you're delicate sensibilities, I was just trying to pass some info along to keep you from eating your bolt cause you were over pressured...

What bullets are/were you shooting? Moly coated? I've heard of pressure spikes happening after cleaning the bore... The moly acts as a lubricant in the barrel which keeps pressures down, but once removed (cleaned), the lubricant is gone and pressures jump way up.

Heat will make your rounds shoot hotter, Back off 3-4 grains and see how they shoot. With that being said if you are hunting this load this late fall(colder temps)You might try to put your rounds in a cooler so they are cooler with icepack and try shooting them and see if they still make the bolt stick.

If you were an ass you would of told Jack O'Conner here to up his load by ten grains. Then he could of made a post about his bolt and two inscisors sticking in his throat. Next time don't be so insensative and shed light on the obvious red flags.
