Madhouse Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 So, my father in law has been reloading some ammo for me. I pulled this one out of a box he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I might have made one of those…once. Dude showed up to the range once with a box of .45-70 and half of them were like that. Anyone know what happens if you pull the trigger on one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yeah, I think so. Had one other of his reloads and it went off like a squib load. Round got stuck in the barrel, probably because the jacket was f'd up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I had a buddy who wanted to get into reloading. I asked him why... He said he wanted a hobby to keep him busy while he smoked his cigars.... I politely suggested he reevaluate his decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgun Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I guess he doesn't look at his rds afterloading them. I check all of mine in a case gauge, does that one even go into the chamber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washguy Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Mad maybe thats his idea of a subsonic round? lol :) Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripledeuce Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 This happens when not enough bell is put on the case. Most will not chamber. Sometimes one will. Most act like a squib load. Most of these rounds are loaded on a progressive loader, Where the operator does not have as close an attention to each round, Respectfully Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgun Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I load all my pistol ammo on a 650 progressive, and even if I weren't checking my finished rds, (I do), I'd notice the extra force required to do that compared to a properly seated bullet. I don't catch everything, all the time, sometimes find a poorly seated primer, but when I'm loading, if I notice more force needed than usual on a pull of the lever, I'm definitely going to check the rds in the shell plate at that time. Most of my reloading problems, when they do occur, come from using mixed once fired brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 If you don't notice that when seating , which you should , final inspection should have discovered it , for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripledeuce Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 I have to admit to doing a few of these my self on my 650. Never done one on my RCBS single stage, or on my star progresive. By the time you notice the extra pressure on the lever, it's already to late.LOL!! Respectfully Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 The only time I've had that happen was when I missed chamfering the inside of the case mouth, on 5.56 rounds. Is that what primarily causes something like above? It happened early on that batch of brass of mine, and I caught it - and was slapping myself in the head (much like Rob will be doing shortly...).

Mine was on .45acp with lead pills, not enough flare to the case mouth…so probably the chamfer on 5.56 jacketed rounds. I have to admit to doing a few of these my self on my 650. Never done one on my RCBS single stage, or on my star progresive. By the time you notice the extra pressure on the lever, it's already to late.LOL!! Respectfully Terry Yup…easy peasy with all that mechanical leverage. I WASTED a couple of cases (different occasions) that were skewed in the shell plate…by the time they jam up the works, it is "recycle only" brass.
