Clickers

wheeler had issues with clickers, everyone else just had a slight problem with primary extraction, best way to cure it is to us a quality action built within spec, or time your savage with a file, or get a qualified smith to move the bolt handle on your remington. I cured it by selling my whidden dies...........
 
Cortina says that clickers are from the full length resize die not resizing the case wall, nearer the case head end of the case, enough.

What’s a “CLICKER”?

What are clickers in rifle shooting?
The click at the top of bolt cycle is coming from mechanically extracting the case from the chamber in a situation where the case is still in relatively hard contact with the chamber wall. In a normal firing sequence the brass will expand to the chamber wall and then contract slightly due to "spring back".

There is a few different things that will cause clickers ! RJ

As far as I know clickers come about 2 ways, a bolt that is out of time or by a sizing die that doesn't size your case enough at the .200 line. I would think that if it is a bolt issue you would need to have the bolt timed by a competent gunsmith. If the cause is sizing at the 200 line then you would need to find a sizing die that reduces your case smaller at this 200 line. I have never had the bolt issue but I had the die issue, and a different die that sized the case smaller done the job. JMO
 
From what I remember hearing that someone was making a new reamer to deal with this area near the base that causes the problem.

Again, when I looked into it, most of them were supposedly caused by high pressure, or near or over max loads.

I must admit that I have the odd one on the 6.5 PRC, but have pretty much ignored it. I might have to flag those pcs of brass and see if sizing fixes them.
