rod. Then clean any unburned powder grains in the
chamber, mechanism and bore before ring again.
If tapping with a cleaning rod does not dislodge the
bullet, it will be necessary to have a gunsmith to re-
move it.
7. Dirty, corrode, oily, damaged or deformed cartridges
may not be chambered completely, and the car-
tridge case may bust when ring.
8. Wipe any oil preservative from the chamber before
shooting and do not lubricate the cartridges. Lubri-
cants interfere with the required friction between
the cartridge case and the chamber wall. This causes
stress similar to excessive pressure.
9. Do not use too much lubricant on your guns moving
parts. Do not spray gun care aerosol products where
they may come into contact with ammunition. Do
not overspray. Lubricants, specially aerosol sprays,
may penetrate cartridge primers and cause the am-
munition to misre. Some lubricants may get inside
cartridge cases and prevent powder from igniting.
If only the primer ignites, the bullet may become
lodged in the barrel.
