Yes, I know they are cheap....but with ammo availability today, tried them out. Ended up having one blow up in the chamber and a nice powder burn. The case just burst.

There was no squib round, the weapon was clean. Just glad I walked away with all my fingers. Anyone else have this happen? I understand it can happen with reloads but this was granted....cheap ammo...new.
