    What do the primers look like when it is sticky verse when the extraction is fine as it sounds like a typical too hot load

    Are they tight to chamber going in? I found issues with the necks on reloads bieng too long and needed trimming but that’s on hand loads not factory.
    I think crushing the case neck tip into the rifling was causing crazy pressure

    If I was hand loading and found these issues I’d back it off a little on powder charge. And running it over a chrony is good when funny things are happening

    Also just cause it’s a Kimber check that the screws holding the action in arnt too long and causing issues as they sometimes come a mil or so too long
    Same with the front scope ring screws
    Could just be getting hot, expanding and binding.
