Hi,

1) The main spring isn't activated, to any real extent, until the bullet actually exits the barrel. The toggle remains firmly in battery until then.

2) Same answer as 1) above

Perhaps a mechanical explanation would be, simply a overly soft bullet combined with an overly hot load that is severly over running the rifling twist.

This is my best explanation. .

What has been your experience here?
