aphelion: The darn thing was so far out the barrel on a 4" Model 19 that it was flush with the end of the barrel. If it had been out any farther it would have been sticking out of the barrel of the gun, and may not have had to push it all the way back through.

Was it the forcing cone that made it harder to push my squib out of the barrel? It doesn't sound like it should have if the cone is largest closest to the cylinder.

I see reference to forcing cones quite a few times here. What is the forcing cone in a revolver. Do automatics have them? I had a squib last week and when I pushed the bullet back toward the cylinder, it got noticeably harder to push at the very end. Thanks for the information.
