[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 515545, member: 5302"] After reading the posts in this thread, I'm convinced that the bullet will stay in the case if its release force is quite a bit. That aside, if the release force is pretty low and the force required to push the bullet into the rifling is low, then a bullet will go up the bore some amount. After the bullet's engraved by the rifling, lower amounts of force are needed to push it out. I've talked to some machine gun crews who pulled bullets from misfires and there was no powder in the cases. But then that arsenal ammo had release forced of 60 or more pounds. [/QUOTE]
