Had one with light, cast bullet, target loads in my 1911. Shooting outside. Didn't notice anything until the pistol didn't fire. Looked and found a bulged barrel. The primer had enough power to push the bullet into the barrel, eject and chamber the next shot. The second shot pushed both bullets out, but caused the bulge. Result was a new barrel. Reloader operator failure caused the squib.
Likely would have heard just the primer if I had been inside. Would have been a whole lot worse with non-target loads or a jacketed bullet.
