I would say toss your media. how much is it. anyway?
I would also say that seeing as you had some form of caked debris which is showing signs of unburned powder. then you did infact obscure the flame travle from the primer the shielded powder. You are very lucky you did not bulge the barrel or worse, In fact you should strip the pistol and look down the barrel and see if you can see a ring in the reflections inside the barrel. My guess is that you did ring the barrel. If you did not, then you should go buy a lottery ticket tongiht because you are a lucky son of a gun.
it is possible to pack the media so tightly into the bottom the case that flame just does not reach the powder for ignition. When you dumped the powder charge on the media and then seated a bullet, The resulting pressure sealed up the primer hole and upon fireing only let the slightest amount of powder get ignitied.
I just looked up the cost of media and in ten pound container it runs about a 1.50 a pound, how much is your gun worth. ?
