Thread: Stuck Bullet fix

Well Dodged a Bullet today, Wanted to try a suppressed load through my 7.62x39 and found some old load data from when I had a Suppressed Norinco Bushranger. Loaded one up the same with powder and filler in the case,all I got was a quiet fart to be accurate and nothing came out the front. Bugger a stuck steel core bullet half way down the barrel, Tried the ramrod then a steel rod and hammer with much trepidation . No it wasn`t going to budge!! then I remembered an old adage from my Muzzle loading ,you can`t over fill a Muzzleloader barrel with black powder. So I filled the barrel from the breach and compressed the powder then filled a empty primed case and loaded it. Tied the rifle behind a tree and pulled the trigger with a string ,just in case. Yep it went off, barrel clear and no damage done, barrel is still pristine. Can`t say I want to go through that again.
