[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 1688052, member: 110896"] The round was obviously overcharged. I've had plenty of sticky bolts in my experiences with dreaming-up loads for my mildcat rifles. I had a bunch one day that had me swearing a blue streak. Between the torrent of vulgarities and obscenities, I said to the tumbleweeds that I wished there was some way I could push the stuck case out of the chamber instead of trying to pull it out with the bolt handle. Then it hit me! The solution came to me in a flash of low intelligence. Before I got home that day, I swung past Lowe's and bought a 3/16" brass rod of 36 inches in length. I now use that rod to easily push the stuck case out after it's fired. I never have a problem unlocking the bolt. Once the bolt is unlocked, the stuck case is very easily popped right out. After I began doing the brass rod thing, I've never had to wrestle the bolt handle to remove a sticking case. They come out quite easily. A simple, sliding tap-tap of the rod is all it takes. I keep the rod in the case for the problem rifle. A sticking bolt can bring an afternoon at the range to an immediate halt, so it always goes with me... [/QUOTE]
