I am new to reloading and my first batch of .308 was a flop. I used 168 gr sierra match king bthp and used brass previously fired through the 716. When I chambered the rounds the bolt would not close all the way and when I went to eject the round the charging handle would not come back. I had to hit it with a padded hammer to eject the round. My coal was 2.800 as called for by the hornady reloading book. I'm not sure what I did wrong but I really don't want to do it again. Thanks
