Reloading hall of shame

[Robinhood]

I’ve done this twice — primer, but no powder. With 60 dB of ear protection, I didn’t hear the primer go off. Waited ten seconds and ejected the round and it came out complete with bullet. When I took it apart, it was obvious the primer went off, but the bullet remained seated. Should a primer be able to fire a bullet into the barrel by itself?

Neck tension and bullet weight might be some factors as well as case volume.

I've had the same thing. For some reason in a rifle I've never had the primer put the bullet out of the case and jammed in the barrel. It might be jammed, but, the case is still 'stuck' to it.

I've stuck one in the throat a few times when shooting cast with very light neck tension.
