[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2008701, member: 69192"] I was at the range one day, there was a guy there who was trying to shoot his Sako 300 WinMag that he'd bought online and having the same difficulty. I gave him the phone number of a gunsmith who happens to be a friend. The guy did take the rifle to my friend, the gunsmith found the top half of a casing that was stuck inside of the chamber. The photo of the brass that you have on your posting is far more than a piece of brass or a cleaning patch, something is seriously stuck inside of that chamber. Take it to your gunsmith and have it looked at, or do a chamber cast of the rifle yourself. Good luck with this, sucks when there's a problem and you are having trouble figuring out the cause of it. I'd like to add that the gunsmith tried all of the usual methods of using an oversized cleaning brush and also a tool that is specifically designed to open up inside of the stuck piece of brass with no avail. He then made a casting of the chamber with Cerrsafe. Once the casting hardened he drove the broken casing out with a wooden dowel. [/QUOTE]
