Bullet setback

Sometimes when I'm bored I'll do some reload drills at home, obviously it's not real practice but it passes the time. 
I use a couple extra mags loaded with FMJ's. Anyway, I've never bothered cycling through the rounds so the first couple cartridges in each mag have been rechambered quite a bit. Tonight one round finally had enough.
Probably isn't an issue for anyone here, but I thought I'd post this as a cautionary tale for anyone bored enough, or dumb enough, to be repeatedly rechambering their rounds.

Repeatedly chambering live rounds quickly in the house..... what could possibly go wrong?

1. Wasn't done quickly
2. I typically only do it 2-3 times, just finally added up. It's an infrequent thing, it's not like I'm having daily sessions.
And what could possibly go wrong? A little setback...thank god no one was killed.

I'm told firing them can create an overpressure situation, but I have no experience with it.
I use a kinetic bullet puller to reposition the projectile. If it comes out too far I just pop it in the reloader until it's at the right depth.
