[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1380650, member: 2736"] That was my thought. I would have unscrewed the barrel from the action and I also never recommend beating on any bolt if it is stuck. If you release the pressure on the bolt you can save the action. The barrel may have been ok also. Look at your loading notes and see if you used the same powder and charge for the 190s and the 230 grain bullets If so that Is probably where you went wrong, especially using Retumbo. In my experience, I have found Retumbo to be one of those powders that can go critical with just a slight change in charge weight or bullet weight. Most powders are very linear and slight increases will give you slight increases in velocities. there are a few more that exhibit this trait . For future information, if anyone has a problem with a stuck bolt, or any other situation, Please call a smith or post on this web site that you could use some help and advice how to fix your problem. there is a lot of knowledge on this site and plenty of people that should be able to help you out. It could save your rifle. I have removed barrels for many reasons and many different ways to save the action and with a little inspection and test found the action sound. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
