Thanks for posting. Those photos scare me.

It's not just reloads that can blow you up. I was firing my (new to me)Taurus Tracker in 17hmr yesterday. I was shooting Federal ammo and the round didn't go "BANG!" it was more of a "pfffftt". I looked at my wife and said "that didn't sound right". I swung out the cylinder checked the barrel; blocked!
I'm positive that if my wife had been shooting and that "dud' had been in her gun she would have followed it with another round.
Admittedly the Tracker is way over built for the 17hmr but I'd rather not put it to the test.

Today I’m in search of a 5/32s brass rod.
