Easy to see there was a problem at practice, and changed out (but after burning half my hunting rounds). Almost more disturbing was a nice whitetail buck I flat missed at 75 yards with a 257 Rbts., and with him still standing there I went to chamber another round in a bolt gun and it wouldn't. Turns out the neck of the first handload had entirely split off and lodged in the chamber. Really glad I took a couple deep breaths and walked back to the cabin to diagnose the problem! I tend to hunt with fresher brass these days! Last edited by GrouseChaser; 11/25/22.
