i feel kinda dumb for never really noticing that notch on the side of the slide out. I guess when stuff like this happens, i always look at things to much and think was this like this before or not

I was shooting reloads, i had 100 of them and was down to the last 10 when this happened so maybe there was a bad on in there that caused it, ill have to check it out when i get it out.
I pretty much only shoot reloads that are mostly all Hornady XPT bullets and never had any issues before.

I have the gun sitting outside in the shed just incase so it will be getting pretty cold tonight so once i get up in the morning ill go out and stick the front on a piece of wood and try it again.
I didnt use alot of force cause i thought there was metal stuck in there jamming it up before so now that i know thats not the case ill give alittle more.

Thanks everyone for your quick reponses and ill let you know how i make out in the morning!!!
