Its not a squib but darn close...not sure how I let this one get through even.
I pulled the trigger and got a bunch of black smoke...that was it....Lesson learned!

I don't even like the radio own hen loading. The least little distracdtion will cause me problems.

I has happend to me when using my Dillon 100 primer tube. All it takes is one to flip when loading the tube and it will be inserted upside down. I've always caught these on the bench and pulled the bullet and decaped and reloaded. I didn't know a primer would fire when struck wrong side out.

It didn't really fire like you think...it just kind of poofs, black smoke kind of hard to explain...I thought I had a squib....but nope......so at least I can still say I have never had a squib....

Final check your ammo. I have done that very thing more than once. But I check each round after prime them. Just to make sure the primer is seated correctly.
