Default Lesson learned at the range yesterday

So I took 5 of my 44 mags with some new PMC and some of my reloads. I was shooting my 629 competitor when something happened and locked up the cylinder. What it turned out to be was a 9mm case inside one of my 44 mag reloads. I really don't know how it even fired as there's hardly any room around the edge of the 9mm case the inside of the 44 mag case. But it did bulge the case and also pushed the primer out enough to keep the cylinder from moving. I was very lucky this didn't turn out to be very different ending. I don't know how it got missed when I was running my reloads, I'm very anal when it comes to watching what I'm doing.

On the bright side, it was a very nice day and all but one of my 44 mags shot very well. I even survived 32 rounds in the 500 Mag.
