I am assuming the mushed area on the base of the bullet is from your cleaning rod???

It was not from a cleaning rod. I used a brass rod from the muzzle as the bullet was approximately 6 inches from the breech. So only the nose of the bullet (not shown) was a little dinged up.
The deformed base of the bullet was from firing alone.
Fortunately the gun did not cycle and that precluded firing another round on top of the squib.
However, after no hole in a brand new sheet of paper and low report, checking the condition of the firearm was a given.
