This is more for the semi-auto folk then the revolver guys.
How many of you "chamber check" your carry ammunition. In case you don't know what I mean.
1. Take the barrel out of your firearm (field strip it).
2. Take each round of your carry ammunition and drop it in the chamber. Now turn the barrel upside down and let it fall out into your other hand.
If the round doesn't go easily into the chamber fully and doesn't effortlessly fall out, I don't carry it.
I rotate my ammunition monthly through different magazines (help prevent spring wear from being constantly compressed, if such a thing exists (it's been debated)). When I rotate my magazines, I chamber check each round again to make sure temp changes or anything else hasn't deformed a round.
