Thread: Miss fire and stuck projectile.

Found the factory misfire and had a measure up.


Measuring a mid point of the shoulder on the failed to fire factory round I get 1.471"
Measuring 20 unfired all but one were 1.486" and one was 1.485"
Measuring the same ammo fired in this rifle 20 cases all but one1.486" one 1.485"
The failed to fire case has a definite sizing mark like a double step in the shoulder like it has been hit with a body/bump die while loaded.


Has anyone seen anything like that in factory ammo before?

I didn't buy it new from a distributor so possibly the previous owner bumped the shoulder back of a few for whatever reason.

Either way it looks like I have a lot of cases to measure.
