[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2578487, member: 115658"] Like ^ with not as many words as below. Should the rifle have a spring pushed blade type ejector the ejector will contact the base of the loaded round but the loaded round might not be ejected because the bullet won't clear the receiver ring. This will prevent the bolt from being removed from the rifle. Should this happen the remedy is to push the back of the round into the magazine and remove round with fingers after removing bolt or push the ejector back alllowing the bolt with extractor gripping cartridge rim to be removed, this might entail removing the stock. Rifle examples include controlled feed actions such as the Ruger M77 MKII, CF M70 Winchesters, & M98 type Mausers. Short actions that are modified for single shot use with long rounds will work if the ejector is removed. Fired rounds can be flipped out with a finger. Unfired rounds can be unloaded by removing the bolt. No problem with actions/bolts having plunger type ejectors - just remove bolt. [ATTACH alt="IMG_1418.JPG"]380265[/ATTACH] Ruger M77 MKII with SLED. ^ If I wanted to use this short action .22-.250, M77 MKII with '06 length or some other length rounds I would remove the blade type ejector. This M77 MKII is one of the first MKII's made that has a non rotating extractor (like M98) but is a push feed. Ejector can be gripped or pushed back to allow loaded rounds to be unloaded by removing bolt. Been there & done that by pushing ejector away from brass with a small screw driver without removing stock. [/QUOTE]
