I have what looks to be an un-altered Geha shotgun. It doesn't have the breakdown tool on the stock. Instead it has two medallions marked "Geha". The only marking on the receiver is the word Germany. The barrel has the word Nitro with a small mark, possibly a proof mark in front of it. The bolt...

Does the stock have a disk on the side marked Geha?

I saw your other reply with the bullet weight. 42.5 is .5 over the listed maximum for both Hodgdon and Sierra's reloading manual. I don't think that's the main cause of the failure though. I'm going to take a guess that the case is defective to fail like that. That's surprising for Lapua.

What you should do is start a new thread of your own. Explain what weapon and give details on the ammo such whether it's a factory loading or a handload. If it's a handload, give us details like bullet, powder charge, primer, OAL.

Have you looked at this guys series of video's?

I meant to say that I've never done the work myself. I should have proof read before I posted. You could probably just do a search on Youtube and find a video on how to disassemble one of those old Redfields without ruining it.

Thanks. Good information to know.

Do the 22-250 and the 308 rifles take a different length bolt? They're both short action cartridges with a .473 head diameter.

Check ebay. There's a guy selling one for $499.95...
