If I do, I've always ran some patches thru.
People started checking them after the 2nd one did it.
What gets me is some guns would come in wet and the chambers would be fine the next a.m., others would rust like the titanic by morning?
Just wondering if it was the steel, solvent remnants or what causing some to rust and others to be fine.

I'm late to this party, because I thought I've read it all here before.
I was wrong.

Jeff,
It would help clear things up if you posted a pic of how you are blowing in the barrel.
I would do it, but my rifles are down in Tensas and Mississippi for the start of the season, so I can't.
JM Lol... no way hoser <g>. It was Calvin's stupid idea, and he's a "blower", and DJ and Jordan did the blow test too. All them post pics first, then I'll consider it. Lol.

I'm of the belief that a chambered round adds enormous water resistance, compared to an empty chamber, and probably enough resistance to render the point moot under most conditions. Happy? But I'll tell you right now, it's not water PROOF. I assume this means that you probably did the "blow test" with a empty case in the chamber and saw that it did make things pretty much airtight. If you go back and reread the posts, nobody ever said 100% waterproof the point was that as long as you aren't Scuba diving with your rifle the chamber is pretty well sealed from the back by the bolt and case - my point all along. And btw I used a fl sized, primed, ready to load powder and bullet case when I did my test, NOT a larger unsized round. Sealing the muzzle with tape can make a difference, there are almost no negatives to doing so, the advantages far outweigh any disadvantages............................dj Agree pretty much. With the disclaimer that rounds come out of my M7 wet from base to tip after an all-day drizzle. More to the point, my point anyway, is how easy water gets in with an empty chamber. Do you agree?

This whole thing is silly... and I say that without even having toggled my ignores for a couple pages <grin>. Can only imagine what silliness they might be up to...
What will be interesting to see is if the sourdough empty-chamber muzzle taping crew admit they learned something here.... 'specially Calvin... guessing that's a big negatory... lol...

Haha! Learn something from YOU Jeff? Give me a break. Keep sticking those barrels in your mouth Jeff. Hey.. What's that annual rainfall that you guys get? I'm still waiting for that one. I bet we'll get more rain tomorrow than you've ever hunting in... total!

Damn.. Got quiet. Sure hope Jeff didn't try it with a live round.. If the cartridge sealed the chamber water tight it would be damn hard to chamber that cartridge.

I may do the experiment with a cartridge and water and so on tonight. Or not. Not sure what it proves anyway; I already know water gets into the chamber at a minimum... Airtight empty chamber... that still cracks me the eff UP! Lol... Calvin, you could pressurize yours, put a valve on it somewhere, and use it to air up flat tires out in the bush!  Won't work with my [bleep] leaky rifles though. Oh well. Lol.
