Lane,
A man of your stature, means and mannerisms is certainly entitled to a few mistakes in life. I'm glad that you caught it and didn't follow through with another shot! (Obviously written by a man who has a holster in the queue) Da

When I first started reloading I had a squib - it made a much louder "bang" and the bullet went into the barrel. On both of these, the sound wasn't much more than a dry fire - and the bullet barely engages the riflings. I put a cleaning rod with a jag down though the muzzel end, and a few taps with the brass mallet knocked 'em loose. Looking at the bottom of the bullet that came out, it was covered with crusty gunk - that sort of looked like gun powder. I don't remember inspecting the bullet from my first squib - but I do remember that getting the bullet out was much more difficult. Is it possible that the primer was bad? Could a primer fire enough to fire the bullet without igniting the powder? Could there be a problem with the powder? Should I stop cutting the powder with sawdust? I'm starting to second guess that there might be something else at issue here. Lane

Lane, that sounds like a primer only round, no powder at all!!
Quit using that sawdust and start using ground up pine straw!!!
