Nothing but the ability to feed the ammo itself will stop it. If the gun cannot FEED the ammo it will not go into the bore. If it can then it will.

Back in the day more than one yahoo I knew put a long rifle into a worn out long chamber, and managed to fire it (Usually causing some nice buldges in barrels etc.)

In a 10/22 the feeding mechanism in the magazine itself is particularly finiky at times (even more so if using after market clips like the hotlips clips) and you will even find a few examples of long rifle ammo that don't want to feed.

On a tubular magazine the load mechanism is so straight forward (Usually that is) that in some guns you can even cycle empty shells through it (although I am not sure why you would want to)

Hope this helps.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
