    1st time in 25 years, 2 projectiles stuck up the spout

    Hi everyone,
    Any advice ... or just unlucky?
    The other night is was shooting subsonics out of my .22LR Weihrauch 60J rifle (see my post with 4 very dead bunnies) and when I went to unload at the shed - the bolt was very tight so I gave it a little bit more of a nudge and and it pulled the case and left the projective up the spout (remembering I hadn't fired this round).
    About a month ago I had a .17HMR (see my post with 2 very dead bunnies last night) round stuck about 2 inches up the spout (I had fired this round) and luckily a could tell something was up and switched to the trusty 10/22 for the rest of the evening.
    Both came out with a cleaning rod and a couple of good taps.
    I love cleaning my guns and think I do a good job but I do like to run a very lightly oiled patch before they go back in the case. I'm shooting the same ammo. The HMR is well shot in. The Weihrauch has shot about 100 rounds.
    Was this my first experience of rimfire ammo or is something up that I don't know about and I should have them checked?
    Thoughts anyone?
