Anyone who’s reloaded knows the sick feeling you get when you fire a round and realize that you forgot to load the powder or you undercharged it and the projectile didn’t clear the barrel.

Or (hopefully) realize that charge may have ended up in another case and you have a double charged round.

No matter how careful you are..., it WILL happen at some point! I've had it happen to me twice in 30+ years of reloading. Fortunately, I'm not into rapid fire and the result was only the end of a range session and a little tedious removal of a bullet from the barrel at home.

Question: if a round does not clear the barrel, does it require a lot of force to eject it? Do the lands engage or does it just pop out with a stick?
