Not certain that I understand exactly what you are asking. If you are having a problem in that a cartridge will not fully seat in the chamber, it could be a couple of things. First, check that you have the correct ammunition for the gun in question. While that sounds very basic, it happens more often than you think. Next problem could be a foreign object in the chamber, or fouling from being shot. Clean the chamber with a chamber brush and powder solvent, check the chamber for things like a section of a cartridge case that tore off, and is stuck in place. Last, check the extractors- see that they are clean and free to move. Some firearms are designed to have the extractor slip over the rim when loading- if not free to move, the get caught behind the cartridge.

Can you shoot a 7.62 cartridge in a 308 rifle?

A rifle with a 7.62x51 chamber can chamber commercial .308 Winchester ammunition - putting military 7.62x51 ammunition in a rifle with a dedicated .308 Winchester chamber is not recommended. Questions regarding your rifle may be directed at the customer service hotline of the manufacturer, as some imported rifles actually do have a 7.62x51 chamber, but must be stamped as .308 in order to be importable as sporting rifles.


I have a Remington model 514 that will not extract the fired casing. It will extract a bullet before it is fired. Is there any way to fix this.?

Needs to be examined by a gunsmith Remove the bolt and clean the chamber area thoroughly with a .22 caliber bronze brush and solvent. If .22 short cartridges have been fired in this rifle there could be a carbon ring buildup in the chamber where the mouth of the .22 short cartridge is. When a long rifle cartridge is then fired, the longer cartridge case will expand into this carbon ring tightly. Try cleaning the chamber before visiting a gunsmith.
