Morning all. I keep a Sig P220ST at my bedside -- this pistol and the .45 ACP is the topic of this query.
About twice per month, I drop the mag and clear the chamber. The ejected round goes back on the top position in my single-stack magazine. I cycle the action a few times, dry fire, check the rail/barrel lubrication, and reassemble. Upon reassembly, the initially ejected round is re-chambered.
My question is: what are the chances that this top round is being slightly compressed (i.e. the bullet is being pushed back into the case)? What would be the consequence were this to occur?
Not knowing the answer to this problem, I keep a box of loose ammo which consists mainly of this "top round" after it has been cycled into the gun about 4-6 times.
