[QUOTE="msalm, post: 510661, member: 8863"] I've done this ONCE, and that was when I had primed a bunch of cases and needed one to work out seating depth on a 338 Edge. That case with a seated bullet ended up in the box of loaded rounds with a 300gr sierra seated in it. When I shot it, it just sounded like a mis-fire. No pop, or any sound other than the firing pin dropping. I ejected the case with the bullet still seated exactly where it should have been and I thought I had loaded a dud primer. When I pulled the bullet the back end of it was completely black with soot from the primer, so apparently the neck tension with a 338 Sierra is enough to keep it in place with a CCI mag primer behind it.
