RK, that reminds me of the time about 1964 or so when I went out shooting with a coworker that had bought a really nice .30 carbine. He did his own reloading and one round he fired did a 'pfffssst' sound, no powder, just primer. I said don't pull the trigger again at the same time that he pulled the trigger, luckily the top of the chamber went straight up and didn't kill one of us. Reloading can definitely be hazardous if one is not really careful. Of course firing a full load into a plugged chamber is not a good idea either.
