Magic bullets?

Waylon,
The magic bullet I am referring to is like the one that had "Ninja like" performance on the late Pres Kennedy, however I think you hit the mark perfectly with your comments on dependable ammunition.
I guess I get to hear more horror stories than most due to the number of reloading junkies I associate with. The reason for most of these stories is that they just cant leave well enough alone in my opinion.
Reloading ammo is great but stay within the limits. Bullet performance isn't very dependable and ammo can be downright unsafe outside those limits.
As for your miss fire? That's probably what I would have done also! lol. For me its the same surge of panic I feel when my wife ask me if a certain dress she has tried on makes her butt look big!!!
