Recently found live round in barrel after i had tried to clear using bolt?

Any solutions to this dangerous fault.

I also purchased a 10 shot magazine which only loads reliabley for two or three rounds?.

The finnfire has quite a tight match chamber with little freebore, any slight build up of wax or lead can lead to this problem.

Keep clean.

What ammo are you using ? I had a problem with CCI subs, Winchester subs can be over waxed.

CCI recommends high velocity ammo is NOT used in this rifle.

Thanks for your response .The bolt had a layer of black gunge at the firing pin.Gave it a good clean and it seems to be working ok.The Sako is a P94S but i cannot find my original paper work to determine which model . I think its the light weight hunter .I have used stingers in the past without any ejection problems.

pleased you posted this i have the finnfire too and have the same problem it gets tricky when you come to unload when the end of shooting comes you either have to use the round up eg fire off or i have got it out by fiddling with the bolt trying to catch the rim, will try keeping the bolt clean and the chamber thanks for the advice ps i use winchester subs , also regarding hi velocity i find the cci very tight to close the bolt down cheers rob
