I got a call from a buddy that was at the range sighting in a new Tikka 300WM when his bolt stuck shut. When he finally got it open with a rubber mallet the primer fell out on the floor. We figured out there is a recall on the 180gr Remington 300WM Core-Lokt Tipped ammo(see below). I took apart the remaining 7 cartridges, all were within about .2 of a grain except for one that was 7 grains heavy on the charge. Interesting. That could really ruin your day.
