Looks like it. And darn if I care for pushing squibs out. Makes me nervous.

The ones that make me nervous are a bullet jammed in the forcing cone AND still protruding into the cylinder of a revolver. You can't open the cylinder and you might have live rounds in the remaining charge holes.

I had one experience with .44mag ammo purchased at a gun show. One shot in my S&W 629 with 4 inch barrel and the other 5 rounds unseated the bullets from the brass. They were poking out the front edge of the cylinder. I pressed them back flush and unloaded the unexpended rounds. The whole remaining container was run through my Lee Precision Factory Roll Crimp die. The vendor used a taper crimp as he was firing them from a Desert Eagle. You can't do that with hot revolver rounds.
