A bullet may be lodged some distance down
the barrel where it cannot easily be seen.
If a bullet is in the bore, do not attempt to
shoot it out by using another cartridge, or by
blowing it out with a blank or one from which
the bullet has been removed. Such
techniques can generate excessive pressure,
damage the firearm and cause serious
personal injury. 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.
7. Dirt, corrosion, or other foreign matter on a
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. Do not oil cartridges, and always 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,
