[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 994213, member: 33046"] We [B]all [/B]have to be extremely careful. [U]That witness mark MUST be checked with each loading[/U]. There have been times when I've had someone talking, that I re-checked with the ramrod. When I'm at the range, I take one bullet out per shot. I do everything that I can for safety, however this is proof that it can happen to the best. I sold a Pro Hunter to a fella that hadn't hunted with a muzz in over 10 years. He came to shoot it and put the final zero on a new scope I had mounted on it and also to learn how clean it. I went over everything with him and the witness mark, what changes had been made to the frame etc. He loaded and shot it five or six times, when I intentionally started talking and changing the subject while he was loading. When he put the rifle on the rest and started to get ready to settle, I asked him how many bullets he put down the barrel. His response was, "I'm pretty sure one", while looking a little funny at me. He opened the rifle and removed the primer, then checked the witness mark. [U]I told him how important it was to be POSITIVE and not just sure.[/U] I'd say it was good instruction in light of what happened to Luke. [/QUOTE]
