A friend got a round of Russian .45ACP hung in the barrel of his Springfield that required a trip to the gunsmith to get out. The only thing they could figure was that the lacquer was so thick on the case that it jammed and then stuck to the chamber. It did not chamber completely; so the pistol was locked up. The firing pin was removed, and the round was driven out with a wooden dowel. The chamber was coated with what appeared to be the lacquer coating of the ammo.
