I have had problems with my stainless 243 barrel. I am getting stuck cases. Some reloads and even some factory loads are sticking. I tried polishing the chamber but so far they still stick. (about 25% of the time.) Has anyone sent one back for this and did the correct the problem. I wish it had the new extractor.

Have you checked the case length? I had to trim mine to 2.035. You might try and trim one and see. Happy reloading!

My 243 ultra stuck a fair bit to the point where I cut the "Manual Extractor Notch", but mostly the problem was brass. I had some old brass that was not resizing properly and all of the brass actually to two hits in the die to fully bottom out.

It go to the point I chambered all of my empty resized brass, anything that stuck then go thrown out. fully sized and trimmed brass when chambered should not be sticking out at all, after I got rid of the ones that stuck out right I culled the ones that did not quite fit, and I never had another stuck case, till I sold the gun.
