I reloaded 20 rounds for my garand. Back ground info is:::::
Rcbs full length Xdie. ( i trimmed .020 below max 2.494. trim length 2.474
150 gr pro hunter bullet .308
oal was 3.229
Greek HXP brass....onced fired (by me)
Lee crimp lastly.
First 9 rounds fired no prob... 10th round i pulled the trigger CLICK.. i looked up and was shocked and scared to see the Bolt was out of battery. I could not move the oprod at all it was jammed. I took it to a gunsmith who used a rubber mallet to unjam. the neck was wrinkled like an accordian. i followed all the steps as good as i could. i dont know what to do know.
I was a nervous reloader when i started. now im more nervous. but i will not give up. any and all info would help. i will be working alot over the next week i will be slow to respond.......
