I was firing my S&W 642 yesterday. I was shooting reloads- on the first round of the second 5-shots- little recoil and I felt powder burning my hands. The bullet lodged in the barrel (almost exactly in middle).
The strange part to me was when I realized what happened and popped the brass out- there was powder stuck to the outside of the brass- a good amount. I know there was powder in the casing but I have no clue how the powder became stuck to the outside and what caused the stock bullet. The loads were mid-range. I know there was not much crimp on these loads and I am wondering if that may be a reason.
I also found that the pistol has some strange marks on the frame of my revolver now. Any idea how these marks might have come about?
I tapped out the bullet but still have no clue how this all happened???
