He did, but that's probably the extractor linked to it and hanging

opening away from me. Once the slug has slid into the brass, holding
the rifle upside down might (with the dowel or brass welding rod
against the slug for clearance) release the powder so it would be a
bit safer to more firmly tap the dowel.


that was actually a handgun with a straight case cartridge. I do not
like handguns much anymore and have not shot this one in quite a while.

9x18, Doh! I guess it was a pistol cartridge. I had seen reference to
the other you were shooting, 7.62x39, and got stuck there.

So, how much damage, if any, did the screwdrivers do? cringe
