walking around with bullet stuck in rifling

On about the third stage of a recent match, when a competitor went to make ready a loose bullet dropped out of the chamber.

 

Apparently on the previous show clear the bullet had stuck in the gun when the case was ejected. 

 

Is there a penalty?

 

Playing around with things, I can see a loose bullet only in the chamber of my gun, but to do so I have to work harder at looking down in the barrel than you see competitors or r.o.'s do on a normal 'show clear'.

Since typically RM's will just tell you to go pound it out when they verify it, it wouldn't be a penalty in my mind. Heck, I have verified it as a CRO and loaned them my squib rod to take to a safe area.

"Loaded Firearm :  A firearm having a live round, empty case or dummy round in the chamber or cylinder, or having a live or dummy round in a magazine inserted in the firearm."

 

The bullet alone isn't a live or dummy round, so no penalty/DQ.
