I've heard of this, but am not sure if it is reasonably safe:
If you have a squib and put a bullet part way down a barrel, take a charged, primed case (no bullet). Carefully chamber it, keeping the powder charge in place, then fire to push the bullet out of the bore.
In principle it seems safe, you have a normal powder charge, and one bullet (in the bore). But it is unusual/different for sure.
Questions:
1) Is there any generally accepted advice on this method? Works fine or dangerous, don't do it?
2) Have you actually done it? Tell me the story, please.
3) Does the advice change from rifle rounds to handgun rounds?
Thanks,
Koski
