[QUOTE="one crazy kid, post: 1722280, member: 62215"] While bear hunting a couple years ago I chambered a round in my 30-06 getting ready to shoot a nice looking sow. before I pulled the trigger my buddy spotted a cub so I passed on the shot. When I tried to remove the chambered round the bolt handle was stuck. After applying a reasonable amount of force the bolt opened and out came the brass but no bullet. My grandfather had reloaded these particular rounds for me and evidently he seated them to long for my rifle. Long story short I removed the bullet at home easily enough with a brass cleaning rod inserted from the muzzle and using my fist for a hammer. ended up giving the rest of the shells to my little brother being they didn't touch the lands in his rifle. Knowing what I know now I probably would have picked a target and fired the stuck round. seems like the safest and most controlled method assuming you do not have a cleaning rod available. [/QUOTE]
