[QUOTE="Chawlston, post: 138563"] [ QUOTE ] We always read that sticking our bullets into the lands for accuracy's sake is playing with matches. Those matches being getting the bullet stuck and pulling out a case full of propellant out of the action. Then the propellant spilling all over the actions interior and putting our rifle out of commision until we can remove the bullet. I would assume that bullets actually getting stuck is a function of neck tension upon the bullet. so... 1) How many of you have actually experienced this? 2) Under what circumstances did this occur? ie, clean vs dirty barrel, lightly stuck (.005") vs stuck hard (.010"+), what was your neck tension? 3) How tight would you think the neck tension could/should be to negate this tendency? [/ QUOTE ] I don't have this problem because all my hunting ammo is tuned to shoot best off the lands and not into them. To me that is the easiest way to alleviate the problem. James [/QUOTE]
