[QUOTE="Roadking Larry, post: 747888, member: 2833"] Worst mistake I've made is to not charge a case or two. I ended up with a stuck bullet in my 1911. It was pretty obvious a pipsqueek pop from the primer and a curl of smoke. cleared it nad found the obstruction. Tapped it out with a hard wood dowel and went back to shooting. I also had a batch of 50 rounds of .357 mag that was so gawd awfull poor accuracy wise that after a dozen rounds I decided to pull the whole batch and start over. I found 5-6 rounds out of the remaing 30 some odd didn't have any powder. I did have one case of a probable double charge in a .38 special. I had loaded up some absolute minimum charge loads with Unique- just about cat sneeze power level. pip, pip, pip, pip, pip, BOOM. Kind of got my attention. I looked at my load records and even a triple charge would have been maybe a little above .38 spec. +P out of a .357 mag Ruger Vaquero. Know your limits and stay within them. [/QUOTE]
