Plunk Test Question
Please pardon my ignorance. I am assuming that a "plunk test" is placing a cartridge into a barrel chamber without using force to determine if the cartridge will freely enter the chamber and seat to the correct depth.
If my assumption is true and one uses a cartridge which headspaces on the case mouth, then the over all length (OAL) of such a cartridge may grossly exceed the recommended OAL and not fail the "plunk test" until the bullet hits the lands. Is this true? Thank you.
