Welcome to the club! Many members here I suspect. My reloading tools are much better than when I started, but primer quality may not be as high and my head hasn’t improved.
This best advice I can give about squibs is not about reloading. Be very alert and conscious while shooting. ANYTIME you sense ANYTHING different stop clear the weapon and check the barrel for obstructions.
Last week one shot was a whoosh not a bang. My 4566 cycled the brass is lost, next round loaded. I cleared it and found nothing; I will never know what the problem was this time.
I have found a bullet in a 1911 barrel under exactly the same circumstances.
I have pulled bullets from many rounds when I suspected a problem, I will I suppose pull many more before I am done.
