I was reading an early 70's gun rag the other night and there was a story in there about a fatality due to a stuck round.
Two guys with a stuck 243 put some welding rods down the barrel and then proceeded to push the muzzle with the rods in it against their basement wall. The cartridge discharged and drove the 243 case into the aorta of the man behind the rifle, killing him.
A stuck cartridge is never good but when you mix in abundant stupidity it can get downright dangerous.
I remember reading about the incident. If it ever happens to me, I will happily pay a gunsmith to remove the round in question.
Simply another good reason to never force anything when working with firearms.
