[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1962511, member: 63925"] Many years ago, my Savage 110 .270W was shot without swabbing barrel from long term storage where I had ran a wet patch down it for storage. Completely forgot and WOW did I get hard bolt lift from just one round. Primer flattened and I threw out that piece of brass since the expansion was so bad. It was my bad and know better but brain cramp and realized it immediately when I shot what the problem was. It was not a max load (luckily!!) and it still hammered the snot of the rifle. Swabbed the crap out of it and next shot was like any other shot with that load. I have adopted a swab the barrel no matter what approach from that point on just as an added precaution. [/QUOTE]
