Yes, it could. If the bullet doesn't fit the bore properly, it could bounce around, which could result in damage to the barrel, as well as the projectile getting stuck in the barrel. On top of that, the cartridge won't achieve proper headspace in the chamber. This could result in a catastrophic failure of the firearm, which in turn could result in injury or death to the firer. NEVER use ammunition in a firearm other than what it's intended to use.

Your gun has jammed how do you get the bullet out?
VERY CAREFULLY! Open the action of the firearm. If possible, remove the barrel of a handgun , or remove the receiver of a rifle. Using a wooden dowel that is smaller than the bore, insert the dowel in through the muzzle of the barrel, and TAP the dowel to push the bullet back to the receiver end of the barrel. Avoid using a metal rod; you don't want to damage the lands and grooves of the barrel's rifling.
A customer lodged a lead bullet in a barrel by using the wrong caliber?
Is there a question there? If you are asking what to do, the best thing is probably to have a gunsmith remove it.
How do you remove a misfire from a semi auto pistol barrel?
A misfire is a cartridge that fails to fire- at all. Operating the action of the pistol by hand will normally extract the misfired cartridge. However, if you are using misfire to mean a "squib" load, that is different. A squib happens when the primer fires, but ignites none or only a small amount of the powder- and the bullet is pushed out into the barrel- and stops there. THAT needs to go to a gunsmith, who will use non-damaging tools to push the bullet back down the barrel and out. Do NOT attempt to shoot a stuck bullet out of the barrel- will not end well.
What do you do in a squib-fire?
first: if it is a squib problem, don't fire again. On squib fired round it is indicative of not enough or no powder in the cartridge. The bullet is stuck in barrel. Open the cylinder (revolver) and remove all shell cases. then using a brass rod (not steel) proceed to tap the bullet head out of the barrel. Tap from muzzel to rear. The same for an automatic. remove magazine. Disassemble the pistol. Proceed to tap the bullet out of the barrel with a brass rod (not steel) taping from muzzel to rear...............
Will using a rifled choke in a smooth bore barrel with rifled slugs cause any damage?
Needs to be checked out by a good gunsmith
Why do guns explode?
Most frequent reason for a gun exploding is a blocked barrel. A bullet is pushed by high pressure gas (40,000 to 60,000 PSI is common), and that gas needs to escape. A blockage stops the bullet, making it an effective cork. Pressure escapes wherever there is less resistance. Other causes include excessive powder charges, incorrect powder type, metal failure due to internal defects or corrosion, and using wrong ammunition.
Can people reflect a bullet?
A person can reflect a bullet by using a mirror.
How hot is a bullet when fired?
That varies depending on the cartridge, and how far the bullet is from the firearm in flight. Bullets are heated both from the explosion of gunpowder, and friction as they are forced up the barrel, but begin to cool very quickly. A physics group made a study of measuring the temperature of a bullet in flight using high speed cameras that could measure temperatures from the infrared light emitted by a hot object. Using a 5.56mm firearm (similar to the M16) they found that the bullet was about 513 degrees F measured about 10 ft from the muzzle.
How is gunpowder put in the bullets?
Gunpowder is not put in bullets- it is put in a cartridge case. It is measured, poured into the case, and then the bullet (part that comes out of the barrel) is pressed into the mouth of the cartridge case, and the case is crimped to hold the bullet in place. This is done using a tool called a loading press and a loading die.
What damage could be done to an AC compressor if there is no refrigerant but you are not using it?
If you are not using it, no damage will occur.If you are not using it, no damage will occur.
What is musket ammunition?
Muskets are muzzle loaded weapons. This means the gunpowder, wad and bullet are all loaded down the barrel and packed into the bottom of the barrel using a ramrod. Therefore, they don't use conventional brass cased ammunition like that used in modern firearms. The powder is black powder or a black powder substitute. The wad is thin leather or cloth and is wrapped around the bullet itself and forced down the barrel to seat atop the powder charge. The bullet is cast lead round balls or the Minie ball, also made of cast lead. Muskets are usually around .50 caliber, but that can vary. Sometimes the powder, wad and bullet were all wrapped in paper making a complete cartridge but the end had to be ripped off and the powder still had to be poured into the barrel first.Hope this helps!
How is a bullet fired?
The hammer of a gun hits the end of the cartridge. This ignites a chemical reaction creating a hot gas. The gas expands rapidly, propelling the bullet out of the barrel at high velocity. More information than you would ever want to know about firearms and ammo can be found by using the link below.
