What bullet weight are you using?

I had a similar problem at first when loading 125's. I loaded them too long, and found that the bullets were hitting the rifling, and sticking in the chamber. I actually ended up pulling a couple of bullets out of the case, with spilled powder down in the action (this makes a very big mess).

With 168s, 220s, and 240s, I seat them as far out as they will still fit in the chamber, but with 125s, they need to be considerably shorter. Keep seating them deeper until they feed and extract right.

Be sure to lower your load a little, and work back up as you are doing this, as it will increase the pressure.
