Went out to the smiths today to shoot some groups with my .220 swift. Was re-loading one case to try and minimize the variables. Shot about 10 times then went to shoot again.... after re-loading..... and click...... %&$^!...... Sat for a minute then pulled it out. No bullet........... No powder..... ah ha!
Primer had just enough umph to kick the bullet out into the barrel. No noise other than the click......
Glad it wasn't a mis-fire on the primer. I had been doing the same process over and over... and once I forgot to charge the case with powder........Goes to show you can never pay too much attention to detail.
On the good side I shrunk my 5 shot group down from 0.721" to 0.676"..... Not a lot but I'm still working on getting a good load with the new barrel.
