So, several months ago I purchased a 30-06 bolt action from a member here. Good deal, came with some factory ammo, primers, powder, bullets, dies and a few reloaded rounds.
Today I finally got the chance to 'pull' the reloaded bullets, it kinda pained me cause why waste his hard work? Well on the 6th round - I lock it into the bullet pulling hammer, rap it hard, again, again, again. Hmm. It took 2-3 hits to pull the first few so I slam it onto the concrete again, 3 more times... Hmm?
Then I notice its been pulled apart but there was NO powder in it at all. He missed loading one... Not trying to fault the guy but it was an eye opening lesson because I ALMOST went out to shoot them, almost... Luckily I don't have a story of how hard it is to get a squib load out of a 30-06...
Be careful who you trust to load your ammo!
