I had a squib on the 7th round of my reloading career.

I used a powderless but primed .357 case setting up my dies. I saw the thing sitting on my bench & considered tossing it. I knew what could happen. Nah...

Sho' nuff that thing found it's way into the box of ammo (I blame gremlins!). Fired six. YAY! Reloaded... Pffft. Huh? Bullet lodged in the CB gap. Range gunsmith tapped the bullet back into the cylinder. No harm no foul, lesson learned.
