Had a spooky event today. Went over and shot some .45 230gr FMJ reloads at the range and had a squib. Looks like somehow, a case didn't get a powder charge but primer went off and bullet lodged in the barrel. Fortunately, it was near the breach so the next bullet wouldn't chamber and I luckily avoided watched my barrel go boom. Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid this in the future? All I can think of (other than visually checking to ensure powder is there) is to weigh each bullet after loading. By the way, I use a Dillon 550B with Dillon dies. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
