Bullet jump to rifleings

357,
In match shooting that all works great, unil one day you get an emergency cease fire with a clear all weapons order. Ask me how I know....

I had to walk off the line with an inoperable gun after the powder and spherical buffer dumped into the action. That was the end of the "Pope" practice with cast bullets for me.

Set the rifle on its butt, barrel up with a cleaning rod down the barrel with no jag and let it rest against the bullet. Open the bolt and hold, lightly push the rod and open the bolt about 1/4", hold bolt in place, remove rod, slowly open the bolt until you can grab and remove the cartridge.
It happens.

I just started setting the bullet off by .003. Which had little effect on the accuracy and allowed me to set the bullets in an MTM box rather than have them laying on their side on a towel which is a PITB anyway. It all worked out and thankfully it was at a monthly local match and not a championship match.
