I was firing reloads out of my Beretta 92FS. Everything's going fine and then on round #30, the hammer drops, and nothing happens. (Round #30 was about the fifth or sixth round in the magazine.)
I wait the obligatory 10 seconds or so, just in case it's a hangfire. Still nothing.
I took the mag out and pulled back the slide. All of the powder (Unique) flew out as did the case. The primer hadn't been touched. The bullet was lodged in the chamber and came out relatively easily. I say "relatively" because it was nothing like a squib load where the bullet is halfway in the barrel.
The bullet was a Berry's plated and the plating was peeled off on one side.
The only thing I can think of is that somehow I failed to taper crimp this round. I loaded it on a Dillon Square Deal and it's possible, in one of my obsessive compulsive checking on the rounds to see if they're loaded, I might have advanced it without crimping.
Thoughts?
thanx
