[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 499045, member: 25383"] the first time I heard about this was in some stuff that Capstick published. I asked a well known gunsmith who specialized in big bore rifles you'd hunt in Africa with. He said it was common for the recoil to drive the bullet back into the case while it was in the magazine. Then I asked a couple guys I know that hunt buffallo and lion every year, and each one had at onetime or another experienced the same problem. It's not actually the recoil of round being fired, but the round moving in the magazine under a very violent recoil. Just like a hammer beating the bullet deeper and deeper in the case everytime you fire a round. gary [/QUOTE]
