Do you discard/mark the round you chamber everytime for immediate use? I've read that it is not good go re'use rounds that have been chambered once. I used to use M9 Beretta's at sea duty at codition 1 with safety one. I worked in the armory and never had to mark rounds or know of a policy/instruction nor have been told by my superiors to do it. Is this just a mith or is it a fact that rounds get sensitive after getting chambered? Or only with certain weapons?

after multiple chamberings, with the bullet nose impacting the feed ramp, the bullet can be driven deeper into the casing resulting in "bullet set back". This reduses the volume of dead space in the casing necessary to handle the pressure developed prior to expulsion of the bullet and can lead to serious over pressurization, and possibly a "ka-boom", or catastrophic failure of the barrel.
just what I've heard anyway.
