evan, sounds like you need to size them some more. stick a case in the shellholder, run the sizing die down till you feel pressure on the case, then turn the die about an 1/8th of a turn, then try that case in the chamber, if the bolt is still stiff, run the case back through the die again after lowering it another 1/8 of a turn, keep going till the action closes and the bolt is not stiff.
had same problem on my swift. found out the neck sizing mandrel was stretching the brass.
p.s. i presume you have measured for overall case length. right?
good luck.
