I have read horror stories about bad ammo and the damage it can cause to your weapon. Only after experiencing a squid in my 29 that came from my Dads closet. Didn’t know what I was looking at when I pulled it (the ammo) from the box but had powder around the lead where it was crimped in the brass and a little corrosion on the brass. Wiped it off and loaded it. Most shot fine but one just puffed. I was lucky that I stopped shooting as I hear sending another down the barrel is not the way to clear a stuck shell. Ended the day of shooting because nobody had anything I would use to stick down the barrel to clear it. Moisture kills. Keep your powder dry my friends.
