Loading some magazines, well, thats a weird one. Wondering what it would have done if fired...
I just never had one like that before, even when loose packed.
PPU, Small ammo can, packed in 20rd boxes...

Nothing. BTDT, you'd be surprised at the shit that gets ran through issue M4's! I've seen worse than that fire and function fine. Probably wasn't ideal pressure-wise but it didn't do anything and FWIW I've never seen an issue rife go kaboom no matter what they did or didn't do to it. I wouldn't fire that though in my nice rifles and if that's blaster ammo then I'd just reseat it and move on. As a handloader I always have some rounds laying around that need to be pulled or unfucked.

Wouldn't do this with some other rounds though, spent last night swapping out .40 loads that got set too deep due to a bad mag failing to feed and jamming on the feed ramp. Now with .40, it's a dangerous situation for sure.
