Many thanks to all ya'll who tried to help me re: the reloads that wouldn't chamber. Now for an explanation. I built an opening in the loft of my shop to ambush crows and sometimes I might leave my rifle up there for days. As I was sitting here still trying to figure out what could be wrong, measuring my reloads according to the Nosler guide, and chambering same reloads in another Swift, my grandson asked "Papa, isn't that the same gun that the dirt-dobbers filled the barrel with spiders up in the loft?" Only then did I remember what had happened. I've got a habit of opening the bolt and checking for obstructions in the barrel, which I did that day when I retrieved the Swift from the loft. It's amazing how much they stuffed in there in what I thought was a short time. Busy bees! Anyway I cleaned the bore but I didn't do a very good job on the chamber. A thorough cleaning--problem solved!! I hope maybe somebody might learn something from my foolishness. As you've probably heard before-"there's no fool like an OLD fool". Thanks to God for a grandson with an open mind and a YOUNG mind, and thanks to this board for all the wonderful knowledge. Even tho I seldom post anything but problems, I read it almost every day. Again, many thanks. DN
