[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2796682, member: 61747"] I'm sure we could all write a book on the variables that can happen. Knowingly going to the field on a elk hunt of a life time for example is not a time to spin the roulette wheel and see how your luck plays out. That is what this page and post are really about. The why and what if. A yote rifle that is close to the truck or home vs a back country hunt that a person invested 10k into. Each of us has to decide our own risk. I filled an action full of dirt on a wolf hunt due to an incident on the mountain. It changed a few things for me as I learned from that mistake. In the end, the take away is why jam at all? IF the answer is its the only way, then so be it, it's your risk and choice, carry on. If coming on this page and discussing the process anyone should expect the consensus to be don't jam, find a different bullet, test differently, etc. For me, just my opinion after being burned already, I will never jam for any reason. I have been loading for 40 years and only jammed those early design bergers because that is what the pro's did. I didn't really know any better at the time and hadn't spent the time learning proper seating depth techniques. [/QUOTE]
