I posted my original message after I had just returned from the range. But when I field stripped the pistol for cleaning, I FOUND TO MY HORROR THAT THERE WAS A BULLET STUCK IN THE BORE! It was a lead bullet from the last hand-load I had shot. The primer had just enough force to drive the bullet so that the base of the bullet was just touching the very edge of the chamber. Had the bullet gone further up the barrel the result would have been catastrophic and I could have been seriously injured. I was lucky in that the obstruction just caused a feeding problem and prevented further firing of the pistol. Once again, this shows how careful we must be with our reloading procedures. This had happened to me once before about 25 years ago and I swore to myself that I would be more careful and never let it happen again. Obviously I slipped up somewhere along the line.
