Stuck case in the chamber

Fired a few rounds today and everything was fine and last round didn’t go bang, extracted but didn’t look at the case, looks like there was no powder and primer ignition pushed the bullet into the rifling but I thought I extracted it
I tried but no joy.
So your title “Stuck case in chamber” is not what happened at all. I re-read this whole post and answers.
Seems to me you may have had a bullet in the barrel. Maybe. If you needed a ‘range master’ to determine if the barrel was clear….well.
I got really interested when your local gunsmith was going to check the integrity of the action, but at least he had the brains to send it to the manufacturer. The manufacturer is no fool. The action is trash. Why? He has no clue what you really did. Call it unsafe and avoid liability for the next event.
If you’re rushing you have chosen the wrong sport.
And maybe I read this post incorrectly, Hope so.

I asked for help cause I was in shock and bleeding! Yeah you are right rushing is no good in this sport.
 
I just took some pictures and a video through the bore, looks like both of the bullets are still stuck in the chamber and they are exploded

If you were in shock and bleeding only brother whose a 68 Whiskey would have beat me to your aid, and that you can bet on.
I’m Only referring to the incident. Your nomenclature and pictures have not helped. Bullets do not explode ( not what you have ever loaded).
There are HEI bullets. No clue the number I’ve fired but that’s entirely irrelevant.
Unfortunately I’m not capable of deciphering your use of words… chamber, case, exploding etc.,
BTW shock AND bleeding do not usually lead to seeking help or posting.
I do wish you the best with your shooting endeavors.
 
I’m glad you are okay . Safety is important to all of us in this sport .
Accidents do happen , but knowing when and how to use this equipment is VERY important .
It looks like your case is still in the chamber , bullets are gone in my opinion.
Take time , recover , think about staying in the sport or not.
Shooting accidents make all of us look foolish . Remember you have survived with you eyesight and more . Shooting for accuracy can be accomplished with a 22 lr . Same satisfaction, same cost , almost , just a different rabbit hole to run down .
Stay safe my friend,
Gary
 
Glad you are ok.

Now, you broken one of the simplest safety rules, know your target and what’s behind it. If you would have been following proper gun safety, and that simple rule, you would have noticed that the round you fired (that originally didn’t clear the barrel) did not have an impact on your target. Not a good practice to just aimlessly chamber rounds and squeeze trigger without aiming. I could go on and on, but I think you did learn your lesson with all the other things you didn’t do right, be safe out there and teach others to do the same.
 
I’m guessing that the original bullet did not remain in the chamber, and you had a serious over pressure situation afterwards. That appears to be a ruptured case to me and I’d think that it would be virtually impossible to force another round in with a bullet stuck in the lands.
 
The most important thing at this point is to make sure you have learned from this mistake, and be super cautious in the future. Glad it wasn't worse for sure.
Here’s a simple action to start following. Anytime you experience a malfunction, visually inspect the barrel for obstructions before resuming shooting. It only takes a few seconds to remove/reinstall the bolt!
 
This is the very least of your problems.

I am not trying to beat you up rather I’m trying to keep you from blowing up, as well as others as shapely is usually flying in many directions.
Yeah we always learn so many lessons from our mistakes, I admit that I made a mistake at the first place and asked a question about the accuracy of the rifle at the end of the day, no need to look for an angle in my words to make fun of me! There are always some people in any community that force newbies not to ask their questions or share their thoughts!

I tried not to beat you up and do not mean to.
The statement you made was confusing.
I don’t need to look for angles in your words as the statement is littered with them.
Ask away. State the facts as you perceive them. Don’t go off on getting shot through the scope.
Since you feel I was wish to ridicule your words I’ll end MY comments with this: By all means ask away as there is a ton of knowledge here. And SLOW DOWN.
