Just from the power of the primer.<br /></i><br /><br />My brother has done that. With a 300 Remington Ultra Mag. Of course you are expecting a big boom and a big kick. So when it doesn't happen you notice. I was right next to him and all I heard was a click. It pushed the bullet out of the case and it was stuck in the barrel. I'm not sure it was down the pipe far enough to allow chambering the next round but his hunting was over. <br /><br />My uncle one time hunted with a guy that got so excited when they were shooting at a coyote he forgot to pull the trigger. My uncle asked him how come he never shot and he said he did. Turns out he just ejected all his unfired rounds out on the ground. So a squib with that kind of excitement would ruin your day.Giraffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05556306156373942923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-16119589241322640932014-06-26T10:17:57.958-07:002014-06-26T10:17:57.958-07:00Thank you AnonomousThank you AnonomousJohn Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01077793417700366871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-46048844401453298612014-06-25T18:25:43.358-07:002014-06-25T18:25:43.358-07:00This was Nate's answer in the Love of Liberty ...This was Nate's answer in the Love of Liberty post:<br /><br /><b>Was called the "American System".

My carbine needs a good 5.3g of 231 with those 200g SWC rounds for consistent cycling, I think twice that would run over the top, haven't tried it to see.<br /><br />Still got some Lee Loaders and the hand press, don't use them much now that I have a couple good bench mounted single presses. I've loaded a bunch of 9mm, .223, and even .303 with that hand press.....that's a workout, heh...<br /><br /><br />patrick kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-48671893922747820252014-06-24T23:17:03.424-07:002014-06-24T23:17:03.424-07:00This post is a great education, having only loaded...This post is a great education, having only loaded rifle rounds, double loading the powder isn't really possible like with pistol loading.<br />I have found that the greatest danger, although i have not experienced it, is for a round to have no powder at all. This can cause the projectile to pop out of the case and into the rifling a short distance yet give the superficial look that it has been fired properly. Just from the power of the primer.<br />If the projectile is left in the barrel and another round is fired behind it, the whole rifle could explode. For this reason in my single stage lee press I run a flashlight over the top of the cases to inspect that a normal looking powder charge has been thrown at the end of the stage, but that is not really possible in a progressive press.Allabasternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-15523377406557235882014-06-24T14:06:26.327-07:002014-06-24T14:06:26.327-07:00The gun is fine.
