4ever,
Before you tear your rifle apart, I highly recommend a good cleaning with a chamber brush and some carbon remover/solvent. Metal cased ammunition is notorious for creating a dirtier chamber than normal, as compared to brass cased ammunition. The reason being, is that steel cases do not expand as much into the chamber allowing carbon to blow into the chamber and foul that area. You have to clean the chamber more so than if you used brass cased ammunition. It is typical to have extraction issues with brass cased ammo after shooting steel cased ammo because the brass will expand into the chamber more than steel. With extra carbon in the chamber, the brass cased ammo will become stuck, requiring the rifle to be mortared.
Another item some folks tend to do is under lubricate the rifle. It doesn't need oil dripping from every gap in the gun, but they do tend to run better wet than dry.
