I've had a couple squibs over the years, but that's it. Surprisingly, it wasn't from my reloads, but factory ammunition. Both were in my S&W 686, and both got lodged in the barrel. Luckily for me, I had been told I should keep a wooden dowel a few inches longer than the barrel, so if I did have one, I could push the lodged bullet out with it. A 3/8 wooden dowel did the trick on a .357.
