If the bullet can be easily removed with a wood
or brass dowel, (using hand pressure only, never
"hammer" a bullet lodged in the bore) clean
any unburned powder grains from the bore,

shooting. If the bullet can not be dislodged by
using hand pressure, take the firearm to a
gunsmith.

cartridge can impede complete chambering
and may cause the cartridge case to burst
upon firing. The same is true of cartridges
which are damaged or deformed.
8. Don’t oil cartridges, and be sure to wipe the
chamber clean of any oil preservative before
commencing to shoot. Oil interferes with the
friction between cartridge case and chamber
wall that is necessary for safe functioning, and
subjects the firearm to stress similar to that
imposed by excessive pressure.
9. Use lubricants liberally on the moving parts of
your firearm. Avoid excessive spraying of any
aerosol gun care product, especially where it
may get on ammunition. All lubricants, and
aerosol spray lubricants in particular, can
penetrate cartridge primers and cause misfires.
Some highly penetrative lubricants can also
migrate inside cartridge cases and cause
