I have pushed a couple loads through my Genesis. These were bullets loaded after shooting deer.

Aside from staining of thecopper jacket and very minor rifling marks, the bullets looked fine. I cleaned them up and have put one back in a speed loader, and the other is loaded in the gun right now.

That bullet was easy to start in the muzzle, I was able to press it in by hand. I believe it will shoot fine, it is in the same condition it was when it was first loaded.

i was told by a national match shooter a while back that they do this all the time. they have a jig they use to line them up right everytime. the guy i talked to shoots knights also.

But I can't see being able to line them up on a rifle with a QLA?

txhunter58,

from what I am catching, if you have the QLA it is not as much an problem as non QLA

I have done a little testing like this with a different bullet. I did it with a REAL bullet and had no problem with lining it back up with the rifling, even in my QLA gun. All I did wasrotate it as I lightly held it against the rifling until it dropped into alignment. It works kind of like turning a screw backwards until the threads drop into alignment. The bullet shot as good as a freshly loaded bullet. I don't recall how well it stayed in place since I didn't test for that. I would suggest you check for that. Good luck and keep us informed.
