I went shooting this morning to zero in my new mark lr/t, I took one shot and now my bolt won't even love out of the locked position? I do shoot reloads 65.5 grains with 180 grain bullet

I know this is a simple question, but is your safety on?
 
Re: savage 300 wsm. model 12 stuck bolt

65.5 of what powder? Did you do a load work-up, or just jump to this load?
I have a Savage 300 WSM, and have noticed that it does not like ANY lube left on the brass at all.

No , I just decided what the hell, sounds like a good number let me start with that!!!! From the sound of your question, you must know everything and everybody is stupid!!! Thanks for your advice on the stuck case!! My original question!!

I took my gun to a gunsmith today, I tried tapping the case with a rod with no luck, the guy said he is going to take off the barrel to fix the problem
