We checked case-length every time we loaded the round, and double checked the powder charge. (I was very glad to be wearing shooting glass, in addition to my everyday glasses.) Couldn't open the bolt by hand instead Charlie tapped the bolt handle several times until it came loose, probably with a rubber mallet. Everything was normal until that shot-which blew the primer-and a bunch of gas back in my face, along with what felt like brass particles.
May even have it in my loading notes, but it doesn't matter. After every shot we'd load the case with the same primer, powder charge and bullet, and shoot.Įverything was going along fine, until about the 12th firing. Charlie was on the Pressure Trace, and I was doing the shooting. If I recall correctly, we were trying to see how many firings it took of a stout handload in a single case it took for the primer pocket to open up. 308 in the Winchester Classic Action a number of years ago. I never felt a thing on my face.Ĭharlie and I were fooling with a. I had to use a rubber mallet to open the action.
