-a bullet that is not sealed tightly in its cartridge case. If a cartridge with a loose bullet is
removed from the chamber without being fired, the bullet may remain in the barrel.
Putting another cartridge in the chamber may push the first bullet further into the barrel.
6. If you suspect the bullet is obstructing the barrel, unload the firearm immediately and look
through the bore. Do not simply look inside the chamber as the bullet may be loaded further
down the barrel where it cannot be seen easily. IF A BULLET IS OBSTRUCTING THE BAR
REL, DO NOT TRY TO SHOOT IT OUT WITH ANOTHER CARTRIDGE, A BLANK
CARTRIDGE, OR A CARTRIDGE WITH THE BULLET REMOVED. THIS MAY CAUSE
EXCESSIVE PRESSURE AND CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE FIREARM AND
INJURY TO THE SHOOTER OR OTHERS.
Dislodge the bullet by tapping it with a cleaning rod. Then clean any unburned powder grains in
the chamber, mechanism and bore before firing again. If tapping with a cleaning rod does not
dislodge the bullet, it will be necessary to have a gunsmith remove it.
7. Dirty, corroded, oily, damaged or deformed cartridges may not be chambered completely, and
the cartridge case may burst when firing.
8. Wipe any oil preservative from the chamber before shooting and do not lubricate the car
tridges. Lubricants interfere with the required friction between the cartridge case and the cham
ber wall. This causes stress similar to excessive pressure.
9. Do not use too much lubricant on your guns moving parts. Do not spray gun care aerosol
