I like to pocket carry a Glock G42 and a secondary mag in my other pocket.
I noticed today that some rounds had setback bullets.
Think this is from being in my pocket, or did I chamber these and re-mag them without noticing?

If pocket carry sets a bullet back I would change to a different manufacturer. ...
Looks like a few chamberings might have happened there....

That’s what I figured.
I often clear my gun and then re-chamber.
Usually I shoot them off frequently, but it’s been a while in this case.

We just discussed bullet set back a little farther down the line on page one.
I'm one of the extreme guys that load hollow points one time then they go into my range box for feeding and accuracy tests on new guns when I aquire them....that type of setback could definitely cause a FTF or over pressure issue.

D’oh!... I tried searching, too.

One of the comments mentioned rotating rounds in the mag so they don’t get chambered over and over.
This is what I do (with two mags even), I think the problem is that I haven’t shot it in a while.
I used to go multiple times per month... it’s been at least a year!

You can do that also, get a permanent black marker and mark the headstamp with a line so you can keep up with what's what....
