You know I had problems when I loaded Unique for my 38 SPL loads too. I never had the bullet lodged though. I found that once I stopped using cast bullets and used FMJ bullets, not crimping at all, I ran into about 1 in 20 of that fateful "light pop sound" and a face blast of unburned powder (very funny if your not the goober shooting). I learned the hard way (as I seem to always do after all these yrs), the crimp makes a difference. Is there a magic crimp pressure or degree??? I usually just eye-ball a quarter turn tighter on the dye after intial contact. I Thank you for the opportunity to respond. Bill
