Fired case sticking in savage bmag 17wsm

Rifle purchased used but (less that a box of ammo shot in it) no reason to doubt but ! Anyhow fired brass sticks a lot when trying to eject. I’ve tried 3 different types ammo and cleaned throat and neck area and chamber. Didn’t scrub with abrasive and do not see carbon build up. No split necks and extractor is sharp and spring smooth. I don’t see any marks on brass and when i use small screwdriver to pry out of chamber it’s a lil snug. I put a little moly on a brush and spun it around in chamber and didn’t help. I will try something abrasive next just before rifling and back out into chamber. I have pics before and after moly and will try to post. Looking for suggestions. Thanks
 
So it is sticking on extraction- not ejection. I have a couple Ruger 17's that did that. Sent them back in, same problem. Took a bore mop with metal polish, and a drill. 15-20 min. later all was good. The rim on the 17's is a little had for some extractors to grab.
 
Common problem with those some changed ammo and helped and some sent the rifle back to the factory but I don’t think they ever got it to zero issues
 
Well i tried 3 different ammo. Same problem even with Winchester and Cui. I got 10 boxes American eagle 20 gr with the rifle. Never tried it but didn’t turn it down because it was included with rifle ! Bought rifle cheap ok - especially with cost of ammo. American eagle weighed out ok or as good as the Winchester ammo. I started with it after mounting a scope. Shot dang good after sorting ammo by weight just wouldn’t extract. i just iosso the chamber and throat and barrel with nylon brush and cleaned again using combination of sweets hoppers butches and Montana let it sit and scrubbed with a drill. Cleaned everything up with multiple patches until clean and ran oil patch at the end. Extracts fine now like it should ! Maybe carbon ring maybe dirty chamber not sure but all good now. Too cold to shoot 100 yard to sight in now but will mid week when temps get back up and will shoot a box or two and post back if problem reoccurs. Yes extraction not ejection. With savage never had this problem with any of the wsm rifles. Bmag either shoots or it doesn’t ! If it doesn’t then move it on ! This heavy stainless i felt should shoot but before ordering Boyd’s thumbhole stock i had to fix the extraction problem ! Hate hate to send a rifle back to savage. Pain and months to get i back ! I’m thinking all good now but will post how it turns out. I’m wondering about the round count but doesn’t matter. Now clean and problem solved ? If it shoots then I’m pretty happy. Love me some 17 wsm ! Heck the ammo alone is worth what i paid for rifle ! Thanks for the input
