so im a brand new reloader, and I took my first batch to the range today, and I had a couple squib loads..one that stuck just past the cylinder and one that stuck in the cylinder and barrel. The load data is current and accurate, and it seems the powder burned off and the primer ignited...on one squib my gun was covered in burnt powder. Had to be the crimp? My thought is the crimp was not good enough and the primer pushed the bullet and then the powder had no pressure? I inspected some from that batch and the crimp looked weak. Could this be my problem, and what, if anything else, could cause this?
