Anyone ever have a bullet just pop out?

[jsbhike]

Did you try to refill the case with the spilled powder to see how far it filled the case? I've seen similar situations where I blamed inadequate neck tension and compressed powder, but I've only seen the bullet move a small amount but not exit the case completely.

I hadn't, but I hadn't got around to cleaning it up yet either.

Not compressed, if anything it was on the light side.

Im going to just say it was probably environmental shifts that caused the case to expand and the boolet just fell out and when you got to it the case returned to something.

Been at 65° -70° the entire time although we caught some of the high winds all Friday and I noticed it late Friday night?

Maybe the feed lips squeezed it out like a tube of toothpaste. Don’t know the friction coefficient between aluminum and copper is. If the feed lips were gripping the case behind the bullet…..

This is only for practicing non slidelock reloads.
Its really not a big deal if you go about it the right way and have a procedure.
There's 3 layers of safety to prevent an AD- which Ive never had happen.

I see no up-side in using live ammunition here and it violates the basic rule to remove all live ammunition from the training space. However I am curious how you figure three layers of safety, as I imagine one mental lapse and racking the slide out of reflex and you have a ND.

The upside is mag weight. It changes the reloads.
I dont have that rule in my house.
As I said I put snap caps as the top couple rounds now.

Layers:
visual verification of snapcap in chamber
Reset by partial racking
2nd visual verification before next rep.

I dont rush through training or do it mindlessly.

I dryfire with live ammo in the mags..

This is a really horrible idea...

Off the top of my head I can think of a bunch of ways to mimic the weight of a loaded mag WITHOUT USING LIVE AMMO.

Take a 10/15r mag and fill the bottom of it up with clay.

It's a "basic" rule for a reason... It's not optional.

This reminds me of how the Marine Corps used to use enlisted men as ballast (!) while flight-testing helicopters...

What could go wrong?

Take a 10/15r mag and fill the bottom of it up with clay.

Or anything else that would provide the appropriate ballast: loose bullets (not cartriges!) with newspaper; wheel weights; sinkers; etc.

If you know anyone that reloads, they’d prolly make you 15 dummies for a six pack and/or some sorted brass.
