[QUOTE="yr_tiger, post: 1686279, member: 110719"] Long time lerker/follower of your site but first time post. So my older Buddy gets a Vanguard in 65-300 and he ask if I could site it in for him. I have fired the rifle a few time before and ran about 40 rd down the barrel. Anyway i was shooting yesterday and fired about another 10 rnd and then it happend. Fired fine and bullet went down range fine. But when I tried open the chamber the bolt was stuck. I have to pull pretty hard and the bolts opens...The cartridge comes out and the primer is sitting in chamber. Also the back of the cartridge shows small brass missing and fine some fine brass on the bolt. I am a little concerned the gun may have damage. Also any idea on why this happened? It was Africa hot down here in central Tx. The bullets were weather 140 grn soft points WBY factory ammo. I hope this the correct place for this post if not please relocate. Thx Folks [/QUOTE]
