I was ROing at the Light Rifle event for the NHSRA, National High School Rodeo Assn, at our local range in Gillette on Tuesday. We were more than half way through 85 kids when this happened.
One of the kids on my end of the line had a very loud report from a shot. He had ejected the case before I got to him. I checked his rifle, dropped the bolt, checked the bore, chamber found nothing out of the ordinary.
It was hot here yesterday, mid 90's partly cloudy. So I had him put his remaining rounds under his mat, thinking that maybe it was an over pressure caused by heat.
He finished his prone relay without any more problems.
During his kneeling he had it happen again! Twice! Right at the end of the relay.
I got to him on both of those times and recovered the casings, checked the chamber and bore on both again, looked around on the ground and found the first one, three total.
After the third time, I had him change to issue ammo for the last relay . He had supplied his own, Remington target, ours was Rem bulk. After changing ammo he had no more issue's. Ours had been in the shade the whole day also.
I suggested that he have the rifle, CZ, not sure the model, checked by a gunsmith upon his return home and to not shoot the remaining rounds.
Anybody else hear of or experience this with Rem target?
