[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 445752, member: 8"] I hunt with a couple of rifles that have the bullets jammed. It gives me good accuracy and that is important. I was hunting with one of them yesterday but nothing showed up to shoot at. Most of my rifles are single shot and I seldom have a round in the chamber. However the possibility of a round getting stuck is real and you should have a cleaning rod available if it happens. I do not understand your assertion that there is some damage from the bullet being jammed. As far as pressure increases, that is simply caused by how much powder you put in the case. If you are unwilling to hunt with jammed bullets then there is no point in testing them jammed. If you are willing to hunt with jammed bullets then when you begin load development you test your loads with the bullets jammed and once a load is found you then can test shorter COLs with no problem because you are already know that the pressure at jam is OK.
