A cleaning rod was supposedly left in the tube and another ‘San Francisco’ BuFu jam is born!!!

Still, not a good thing to shoot your ramrod across the field while you’re in the midst of battle.

It would probably be a little embarrassing to have to run out in front of everyone to retrieve your ram rod, especially if everyone else was retreating.

I could not afford the ammo for a .338 Lapua Magnum. Academy keeps them behind the gun counter. They put out their .50 BMG out on the floor. It sells for around $65.00 for 10 rounds. If I am not mistaken the Lapua is more expensive than .50 Caliber.

If you’re too dumb to take the cleaning rod out, you’re too dumb to own a gun

I guess if you can afford a $5,000-$6,000 rifle and scope, you can afford $10 per round ammo.

or neck them wrong maybe.
I’m no reloading expert by any means but if I’m shooting reloads and I have to keep pushing spent cases that won’t extract with the extractor on the gun then I’m not going to keep shooting those till I figure out the PROBLEM

I still have around 20 boxes of Lapua 6.5X55 match. It was actually very reasonable at $10.50 for a box of 20. Unfortunately it is berdan primed.
According to the box it is only 2760 joules (2036 ft. lbs.) which should be pretty mild. despite that, it seems to kick pretty hard from my 29 inch Carl Gustavs. It is accurate tho.

I remember Skeeter Skelton admitted accidentally shooting his TV set. The point was everyone does something stupid some time in their life.
