An "OOPS" at The Holiday
I have had that happen twice.
The first time was with some 38 special brass I had previously loaded with wax bullets. Apparently some wax was left in the bottom of the case and it prevented the powder from igniting.
The second was experimenting with WC820 in my 500 Linebaugh. It was cold and the powder didn’t ignite, it just pushed the bullet into the bore followed by a large plug of powder. Both times required taking the revolver home to get it in firing condition again.
