I've run into an issue, I reload for both .300 wsm and .30-06. When I chamber a round of .300 aboubt 1 in 4 will strip the bullet from the case if I don't fire it and cycle the bolt. I'm shooting 180gr Nosler accubonds seated to 2.940. I smoked a dummy round and it shows no sign of touching the lands. I don't crimp and use lee full length dies, it happens with both new brass and once fired. I use the same brand dies for loading the .30-06 with no issue. Any advice, should I try different dies?
Bullets stripping out of case?

What Robert said, I ran into the same problem with my 270wsm, once I adjusted my sizing die the problem went away. short story is the bullet is moving from being jostled making it longer and getting stuck in the lands

your bullet has to be into the lands, I can't see any other way for it to pull out of the case by simply cycling the action. If it your not jamming into the lands and the bullet comes out that easy it will probably fall out by simply turning the cartridge upside down and giving it a shake.
