    I use a post at the range to bump the breech block rearward.The chamber gets sticky after a couple of shots.

    If there is no one around I use the heel of my boot.

    Actually that rings a bell, and for the record the case necks looked like they had some splits as well. I was pretty young so figured the fella knew what he was doing,
