Folks, I have to admit to you that I think I've really messed up my "new" K31. This morning, I was attempting to develop a load for a Match King 168 grain bullet, and attempting to find the proper COL for the ogive of this bullet, and on the third attempt at chambering, the bullet stuck in the chamber, and the cartridge ejected.
I attempted to dislodge the bullet by placing 1/4" dowel rods down the muzzle, and then hammering on them, to no avail.
I went out and procured a 1 foot length of 1/4" brass, with which I then began to pound on the dowel rods.
The bullet dislodged, but not the dowel rods. I continued to hammer on the brass rod, and a small length of dowel finally came out of the chamber, but then it stopped.
Finally, the brass rod broke off at the muzzle, and now I can't get it to budge.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might get this to move? I've sprayed WD 40 down the bore in an attempt to displace any moisture that may exist in the wood. I've also poured a little bit of 3 in one oil in the chamber as well as the muzzle.
I'm afraid that I've also messed up the crown, as I see a couple of scratches at the outer edge of the crown than I had before.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated, Thanks in advance, Richard
