March 12, 201214 yr What is a CLP? and is the wire coathanger in case you lock your keys in the car? Not quite. It's for two reasons. I once thought I had a squib round, but had no way of checking and just to be safe, I stopped shooting and checked at home with a coathanger since I didn't have a dowel that could fit. A wire coathanger folds up quite nicely and If I lose it - no big deal. The other reason is that I have a 12 gauge to .22 adapter. If I can't flick the shell casing out of the adapter, quick poke with a coathanger usually does the trick. Oh, quick edit. I know I could theoretically take the barrel off to check for a squib round, but the last that I want is for a pin to fall in the sand at Ft. Dix. You'll never find it and I come there to shoot, not to hunt for pins in the dirt.
March 12, 201214 yr I don't know exactly what you are doing but it sounds like you could find something a little less damaging to put near your crown and then down the barrel. Like a cleaning rod with attachment?
