Was this factory ammo or handloads? Even factory ammo can have insufficient powder. A fellow police officer bought a new M29 .44 Magnum and a box of S&W ammo (this was in the 1970s). He had several low powder rounds and one with no powder at all. Some of the others from the same box of ammo fired just fine.
