O.K., I screwed up. Sunday I took a few firearms to the club to practice a little. Shot the AR, shot the Walther P-22, shot the Ruger .357, shot the S&W .460. No problems. Grabbed the S&W .40 M&P, loaded up with some fresh reloads from the night before, and "pfffffft". No powder, just the primer went off. Now I have a plated bullet lodged in the barrel. Anyone have any suggestions for removing it? I was thinking a brass drift should do it without damaging the barrel. What direction do I tap it out, towards the muzzle or towards the breech? I just want to do this safely and without damage to the gun. Thanks for any suggestions.
BTW, I pulled down all 99 remaining rounds that I had made and all were fine. Somehow one slipped through the Lee Pro 1000 without any powder. I just checked the press and everything seems to be fine. Not really sure how it happened.
