Yes. I decided not to force the issue. I've made plenty of ham fisted mistakes before and other than wanting to clean it from the chamber side, there is no good reason to take it down. It's not like I have some custom carry case for it.

This chamber issue has me more concerned, because I really had plans to handload for it due to the lack of factory alternatives.


Better to be judged by 12 than carried by six.
