I was at the gun range today shooting my 45 Long Colt reload bullets and after the 30th round, my casing got stuck. When I went to eject the spent casing from the rifle, I could not get the casing all the way out. It was stuck inside the chamber. The casing backed out only a little bit, but not enough to get it to come out all the way. What's causing the casing not to come out?
