Thanks for the correction btw. I'd don't own a Mak so I can't drop a mak round in my 9mm to see where the problem is. I also didn't check the published OD of the case to see if...

Quote: Originally Posted by FrankC That is the only difference, no clue how that could get stuck. One thing that can happen when loading a short case or an out of spec bullet (either too long or to short) is that the bullet can impact the rim lip inside the chamber and wedge diagonally / in the chamber with the nose of the bullet caught on the lip that normally rests against the case. Say this is the chamber (on the left side) and barrel:...

I also didn't check the published OD of the case to see if it was different from a 9x19. Since the bullet is larger in diameter, I'm sure the OD is larger on the case also. It's .010" larger neck size on the Makarov from what I see, I would say that you are right.

Oh, It's a live round not just the bullet? I guess I'm slow today.

Second thought: The melting temperature of brass is 1710 F, while the melting temperature of the steel in your slide is around 2600 F. Meanwhile, the melting temperature of the lead in the bullet is a lowly 621 F. So all you have to do is very carefully, with the barrel pointing down, heat your gun up to around 1710 F. The bullet and brass will melt and drop out the barrel, leaving your slide untouched. It's perfect.
