You are absolutely correct there Kenny!
“BEEN THERE - DONE THAT – GAVE BACK THE T-SHIRT “
Early in my reloading career (mid 20’s) I reloaded for and helped a pard work up a hunting load for his 45 long Colt Virginia Dragoon. ...“Click = No Bang”... At 1st I dismissed it as just a miss fire, but before he could pull the trigger on the next round I had second thoughts and stopped him to check barrel for obstructions. Sure enough there was a 400gr hard cast slug about half way down his 8” barrel.
Ever since then I never let a CLICK – NO – BANG go buy with out a barrel obstruction check. And YES I have had other incidents all from my fault to no-fault of mine as far I can tell. And Like BCB I’m checking it even more now that I’m in my mid 60’s…..
