I was developing a load for my xdm 45 and had my 1st ever squib load. I got really lucky and now I'm just trying not to have a heart attack.
I reloaded 25 rounds of 45 with hp-38 powder. First 20 rounds were good. Round 21 went boom. I pull trigger and got a click. Pulled slide back and empty brass case ejected. I knew right then I have a problem. Stripped gun and saw bullet barely down the chamber. Lucky for me it didn't eject and chamber another round. Here is a picture of the bullet. I can't seem to get it out. What is the trick. Next step is investigation. Why did it happen. How to re trace my steps and figure out what went wrong.
