Bullet setback

I pull the bullet and start over. But then I handload

Toss them usually. Though pretty much all bullets will setback in a semi-auto, my G26 like to push factory loads about 2-3 thousandths.

I took his question as a FTF and as the slide is moving forward the new round just doesn't make it into the chamber.

The slide moving forward shoves the bullet 1/8" into the brass.

I reload as well and would likely just pull the bullet but I would absolutely not shoot it without resetting the bullet.

toss them where?

Toss it. Over-pressure is no joke.

Yeah, it definitely isn't worth fooling with. What's the round- the most expensive ammo I've checked into might cost, oh, maybe a couple bucks. To put that into perspective, I probably "lose" a couple of buck in loose change a week whenever I spend cash (floating around in the truck or on the table, rarely to be used again); most of us lose 2 dollars at ATMs; and I generally buy bread that costs a dollar more than the cheapest brand each week.

One setback round doesn't disqualify the entire box of ammo... and if the box has a good number, most manufacturers will replace them (call the company and explain the issue).

Saving and fixing a hand that has a grenade blow up in it costs a lot more.
