I escaped a sticky issue with my new 243 barrel. I had a moment of low brain wave activity and put a round in the chamber from my old barrel (loaded with neck sized brass). It was tight going in and I closed the action on it. But then, you know where this is going, it would not eject. It was really stuck, I removed the barrel and tried pushing a rod thru and light taps did nothing. I could have left well enough along at that point, but I panicked and tried to force the round out with the rod and nothing happened. So, I thought I should take some quick measurements before attempting to fire the round and sure enough, the bullet was pushed back into the case considerably. I took the ejector apart to try and get at the ejection flange of the brass and while working on this, some powder came out the end of the barrel - to my relief. I was able to dump a lot of powder out, and could hear the bullet moving freely in the case. I felt a little safer now. I decided to be more forceful with a rod and was able to push the brass and bullet out the back. Now, the half a box of ammo left over from my old gun will be disassembled and disposed.
