I overloaded a case in my .45 on Monday and blew it sky high. I thought I got off with no problems to either myself or the gun, but I found out last night that that wasn't quite true.
I noticed a bluish dot on my forehead, and thought it was a powder granule under the skin, so I proceeded to dig it out.
Turns out it was a chunk of lead, about 1mm by 0.5 mm.
Small, but had it hit me in the eye, it would have been more than enough to cause serious problems.
Always wear eye protection!
