I recently bought a used Handi Rife in 7mm-08. I shot it today with 140 grn Remington factory ammunition, and it is gong to need a lot of work. The first problem I am having is about half of the cases are sticking. It is also very difficult to open the rifle( like the firing pin is sticking in the primers). I have tried searching the FAQs but I haven't found a lot of references to this problem. Is this a matter of simply polishing the chamber, or do I need to look at other issues. This is an ejector barrel( I think, it throws the case completely out of the chamber when it doesn't stick.
I have a Buffalo Classic I purchased new but I have not experienced any of these issues with it.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
