STUCK RAMROD
« on: January 18, 2015, 08:31:30 PM »
I got a call from an old friend on the coast, he said he needed help with a stuck ramrod. I asked if he tried a co2 unit or a little powder under the nipple and shoot it out. He said he forgot to remove it and shot it out over a full load of 80 gr and a 58 prb and that's why its stuck in a maple tree next to his target! I think its time for a chainsaw.

Guess he could wrap a length of chain around the rod and hook the other end to his truck.
Should be able to pull it out of the tree.
Was he surprised with the recoil?

I wish I could say that I've never done anything like that but I'd be lying.
