Okay, here's my newbie question for this week.
Say I'm at the range, firing away. I chamber a round, pull the trigger, but instead of "Boom!" I get a "Click."
My first thought is to keep the muzzle pointed downrange, but after that...?
Should I just work the bolt and eject the dud cartridge and keep shooting? Or is there a danger of the cartridge going off by its self after I eject it?
I figure it's better to ask about this before it happens to me for real one day, eh?
