| That's what we figured too. Otherwise, the whole cartridge would have torpedoed down the barrel, from the force of the slide impacting it. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Funny looking case and bullet, too! That bullet apparently hit the angled steel backstop (which put that angle on its nose) but then bounced straight back instead of angling down into the catch basin. We found it about halfway down range. I'm surprised it fired at all. I don't recall if I checked this out but I'm not sure the cartridge was supported by anything but the extractor when the firing pin hit it. Stu |
