On the second cartridge? Or just the squib?yes I pulled the trigger
If only the squib, that barrel is fine. Push the bullet out and carry on.

Id remove the cylinder if its in the barrel too, especially if its a plated or jacketed bullet. It was plated in my case.While I haven't sent a second bullet down the barrel, I have had a squib or two in a semi auto that must have only gotten a primer, no powder. It's surprising how far the bullet can get in the barrel with just a primer. No harm done on those.
One that I do regret is a squib that got stuck in a revolver cylinder. Let's just say: Make sure to remove the cylinder first before you try to hammer the squib out!! My poor revolver. Gouged the heck out of the two nubs that hold the cylinder in place in the open position (one in front next to crane, one aft). I grimace every time I see it.
In my years of shooting I have had one time when a barrel get ringed. The balance of the gun was not damaged. The maker replaced the barrel at my expense. Sometimes reloading is not economical.
