Do not go deer hunting with 30-06 loads seated into the lands so tight that when the buck gets away without you taking a shot, and you clear the chamber, you end up with an action full of H4831 and a 165 gr Speer bt lodged in the throat.


Had similar happen last year. When I tried to unload an unfired load, it was hard to eject. Marks on the case suggested some sand in the chamber. I wiped and blew through the barrel and thought that I had it clean. When later in the day, and leaving a stand, I unloaded a different round and the bullet stayed in the barrel, powder all over. I guess that some sand locked it up. everything was fine after I cleaned up the powder and ran a cleaning rod through the barrel. Lots of sand where we were. miles


Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.
