Loaders:

Out of about 400 rounds of reloaded 44 mag, I've had three squibs. Two about a year ago and one last week. My guess is that I loaded a bullet into a case that had primer only and no powder, although I'm mystified as to how I managed to do that. Are there other causes of a squib? Other things I should look for.
Thanks

Live Well, be safe
