I have a .270 that is waiting for a trip to the gunsmith tomorrow. I loaded up some cartridges last week to try out. Well one of them got a bullet but no powder. Just enough oomph to lodge the bullet in the barrel.
I could of sworn that I checked the cases to see if they were powdered. Somehow I missed one.
Moral to the story, Always check to make sure there is powder in the case.
