    Default Re: Pedantic or not - changing mags

    I will only load a carry round 4 times before it gets put into the shoot off pile

    So just change mags

    Thanks for the heads up. I will definitely move it to the range pile and stop loading all the time.

    Dispose of it without shooting it. 2mm setback is sure to create dangerous pressures if fired.

    Don’t simply move it to the range box. Pull the bullet, chuck the powder in the garden, etc.

    I will do so. Thanks everyone for all the feedback.

    First prize would be to just keep the pistol, mag, ammo, everyting the same all the time.

    If it's licensed on S13, I don't see a reason to unload it when putting it in the safe. Not that I can see a reason for putting a SD handgun in the safe in the first place. It can do you no good there...

    I have often seen this same issue but mostly due to the nose cavity of the bullet caving in on itself and not bullet setback. This may impair it’s ability to work as advertised but wouldn’t increase pressure in any way.

    Even in this case I'd remove that cartridge from the gun.

    Personally, I don't see any value in cycling the 1-up cartridge when swopping mags. I mean, both other mags are filled to capacity, aren't they, so where do you go with the extra cartridge?
