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, chamber and mechanism before
resuming shooting. If the bullet can not be
dislodged by tapping it with a rod, take the
firearm to a gunsmith.

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
