Well my concern was the possibility of either over compressing the
bulge, or getting adjecent deformation into the bore that might cause
the bullet to stick at that point. As you know, that sort of event
seldom has a happy ending, outside of maybe walking away with all 10
fingers...

But wasn't that exactly what Gunner just described - five bullets
stuck in the barrel? Does that ALWAYS lead to disaster?

I can't imagine it's a good thing, but surely it happens often enough
that manufacturers would design barrels to withstand the abuse - if
not unscathed, then at least in one piece.

Bear with me - my firearms knowledge is all 4o+ years old and limited
to small-bore target shooting.

BTW, this conversation is conjuring up images of Bugs Bunny sticking
his finger in the muzzle and Elmer Fudd getting a face full.
