Howa Mini Sticky Bolt?

[sfmd]

Anyone else get "sticky bolt" shooting Wolf through their Howa?

Wolf shoots well enough for what it is but after about 5 rounds, the bolt is close to frozen in place. Once freed, a round or 3 of brass case cleans out the chamber and can go for another 5 rounds of Wolf.

I assume it's a tight chamber and the carbon blow-by gluing is the case into the chamber but at the same time am concerned that if glued too tight, I'll bust the extractor trying to remove it.

Howa does not have sticky bolts, unless you
a) are shooting a real hot load (wolf isn’t).
b) you shoot wolf and let the lacquer melt and gum up the chamber.

b) is your likely culprit. I don’t shoot wolf although I have some (range rules) but that issue has come up several times on here.
