Repeatedly chambering rounds can cause bullet setback, pushing the bullet deeper into the case. This reduces internal volume, significantly increasing chamber pressure and risking firearm damage or catastrophic failure ('KA-BOOM'). Different firearm designs, like the 1911 with its steeper feed ramp, are more prone to causing setback than others, such as Glocks. Proper handloading techniques, including adequate neck tension and crimping, are crucial to prevent this dangerous phenomenon.

This YouTube video features a range review of the Springfield 911 pistol. The reviewer highlights its accuracy but also discusses significant feeding problems encountered during shooting. Specific issues mentioned include tight chambering and rounds hanging up on the feed ramp. The ammunition used was Fiocchi 95 grain FMJ. The reviewer cleaned the firearm prior to testing and questions whether a break-in period might be necessary.
