[QUOTE="bman73, post: 509365, member: 31591"] A few years ago I pulled into the parking lot at my range just in time to see people running and the dust settling from some older gentelman who had done just that, primer and no powder in his 6.5 Swede. He had actually done this so many times that he had made up a brass rod that fit his barrel to knock the jammed bullet back out of the barrel. On this particular day someone had started talking to him ( probabbly to ask why the hell he was smacking a rod down his barrel with a deadblow?) and he forgot to take the rod back out. I think you can see where this is going right? To make a long story short there was virtually nothing left of the gun, the stock was shattered the barrell was split and the action broke into about 6 pieces. The bolt was actually buried into the logs used to make the supports for the roof. The most amazing thing was that this guy had not been hurt at all except for 1 tiny little cut on his cheek just under the frame of his glasses about the size of a zit. Now I know a lot of you are calling BS on this one and to be honest with you if I hadn't actually been there and waws reading this I more than likely would as well. I told the guy after checking him out (at the time I was a level 3 first aid) that he should go and buy a lottery ticket cause he was by far the luckiest guy I had ever seen. So in this case with this gun yes a primer and no powder load will jam a bullet in the lands [/QUOTE]
