I was out shooting my Marlin XL7 bolt action 30-06 yesterday, and the last round I fired ruptured in the chamber. I managed to unlock the bolt, but the bolt won't pull all the way open. I know the bullet discharged all the way out of the barrel so I tried pushing the casing and bolt out by pushing a cleaning rod down the end of the barrel. But the bolt still didn't want to open and I didn't want to bust something, so I thought I'd ask your guys' advice. Any thoughts on what to do?
