Yes, the barrel grows as it heats up, 2 fellows at the range this year seated their bullets just off the lands by 0.005 thou as the barrels heated up the bullets ended up touching the lands,,, they went to eject the bullets and they were stuck solid.
Nothing major as they went home and tapped them out with their cleaning rods.
