Thread: Tight chamber and marks on projectile

Some years ago I were hunting in a very dry and very dusty area in Africa. Dont know how or when but at some stage the farm owner and his mate started fiddling with a old No4 Mk2. Upon closer inspection I found a case had gotten stuck and would not budge.

Told then to let it go, everyone can shoot my 243 Win, it seems to kill real good - and got busy gutting the last 10 or so animals we had harvested.

Heard a shot and was kinda annoyed as who the hell fires a rifle this close to us without even warning.

Yup....you guessed it. These two fellas had managed to get the 303 case out.....by shooting a 22 down the 303s barrel.

Im happy to report I'm safe - I survived another 8 years of hunting with these two good buggers. (The 303 in question's career ended some 3 years later when the barrel were washed out.)
