[QUOTE="Gene, post: 138564, member: 7402"] I usually load with minimal neck tension and jam bullets about .005" into the bore. Have had several stick when removing a loaded round. With a hunting rifle it is not a good idea to jam bullets. In competition, if the range officer calls a halt to shooting and remove bolt because of some problem, I will ask to shoot my loaded round before opening the action. In the event this is not possible, raise the rifle vertical, remove the bolt and shell. If bullet remains in the bore it can be knocked out with a cleaning rod. And this procedure will keep most of the powder inside the case. Otherwise, you are done shooting for the day, and a major clean up job is in order.
