A sticky chamber may BE the first of your pressure signs. Does "the fight" include difficulty lifting the bolt handle?
You may simply have a dirty chamber. I use the chamber brush from my AR kit to clean my bolt guns, too, and for just that reason.
I fire 1,000-1,300 rounds a week when I'm active with my .223 bolt guns and they have taught me to clean the chamber as well as barrel.
