[QUOTE="Gene, post: 445978, member: 7402"] Most factory hunting rifles have throats too long to allow jamming, and yet feed thru the magazine. If you do jam bullets and need to remove a live round, you may find the bullet stuck in the bore and powder throughout the action. At that point, the rifle is useless and the action needs to be thoroughly cleaned (been there, done that). In BR, we usually shoot single shot rifles. If cease fire is called, and we have a live round unfired in the action, the range master will allow us to fire it off, just to prevent the above occurrence. But yes, jamming the bullet .010 to .020" often improves accuracy. Tony Boyer and other great shooters consistently jam competition bullets into the bore. Doing so will also increase pressures somewhat. [/QUOTE]
