I was cleaning my Beretta 96FS last night. While clearing it and removing the magazine, I noticed the chambered round looked funny. So I set it up on a table along with a round from the magazine and could see the bullet in the chambered round had gone into the casing some. Aware of the dangers of high-pressure, I set the round aside to discard next time I go to the range.
Does bullet setback happen over time? Or is it from a round sitting chambered for too long?
I had read that constantly chambering and clearing the same round can cause setback, so that round had been there for a good 3 months or so. I'm glad I took notice.
But if anyone could offer advice to prevent this from happening, I'd very much appreciate it.
