So as I have been slowly progressing in my reloading, I have accumulated some bad rounds. I have mostly just let them accumulate, and didn't worry much about them.
I just got a Lee Breech Lock Pro progressive press, and I cranked through 300 ish 9mms. I took some out with my wife's new Ruger EC9s, and it was a great day.....until she hit a squib. (Fortunately it lodged in the barrel right in front of the chamber, and prevented another round from chambering. I popped it out with one tap.)
But the bad news is......how can I trust the rest of this batch? What if there's another squib? What if I did a double charge? I have gotten the rhythm now, and I have re-mounted the press in a way that lets me eyeball every single case from now on, I think I have learned the lesson. So I need to be a grownup and ditch the iffy batch. It's about $19 of supplies. I'll call it a cheap lesson learned.
But where and how? It's one thing to toss one round in the trash. It's another to drop 300 and hope that they don't get dropped on the floor of a landfill station and run over by a front loader against a concrete floor. If it was maybe a dozen or 20, I would pull them and reuse them. I don't think my range slaves have that kind of focus to pull 300. Is there any way to bulk neutralize them?
