I've had a .45 Colt bullet stuck in a Blackhawk that was in the forcing cone. I used a bunch of .38 brass stacked on top of each other and pushed the bullet out by hitting against a wall.
I also had two or three bullet stuck within a couple of months in my carry pistol. I think I had a run where I ran out of powder and forgot. It isn't a big deal unless you ignore that pop instead of bang. Brushing the barrel after the bullet's removed with a wooden dowel is a good idea.

A friend must have run out of powder when he was using his Dillon and he added a larger capacity tube to the measure. It stands about six inches higher than the correct one. I tried to tell him that the new tube may force more powder to the measure in spite of the baffles but he wouldn't listen to me.

This point is important enough to repeat --

If your pistol, rifle, or 'gun' doesn't sound right when it goes off -- DON'T SHOOT THE NEXT SHOT ! It might blow up in your hands . . .(possible squib load / barrel obstruction)
