Reloading hall of shame

[Ernest T]

A few times, seated bullet, no powder in case........Squib load at range.

Happened to me on Sunday. What a pain in the butt getting it out using a dowel down the muzzle.

… My worst is not charging some cases. The weirdest part was that the bullets never left the cases.

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?
