Oh I tried to keep going. I didn't put together what had happened until after it wouldn't chamber another round.

Okay, now that I'm at a real computer I can expand. It wasn't even a muted "pop" like I would have expected. I heard, and felt, the trigger break and nothing happened. I opened up the slide and a very dirty, and empty, case popped out. The fact that it was an empty case was evidence enough of what had happened. As I popped the case out, I thought I saw something inside the barrel (must have had it at the perfect angle) and the next round tried to chamber but jammed up. I tried again to chamber the round, all while planning to eject that round and double check the barrel before continuing, but the round wouldn't chamber. I pulled the mag, shook out the chamber, tilted the gun and then could definitely see the other bullet in the barrel. If you look at the top picture, on the top part of the barrel, you can just make out the edge of the chamber where the case mouth seats, so this bullet moved just enough to detach itself from the case. The back of the bullet is very dirty as well. I suspect that some how that case got ZERO powder and this was just the primer. Thanks for the well wishes, I'm also glad nothing worse happened. I was doing the F.A.S.T. drill all day (which means I was basically shooting as fast as I could) but I can't remember if I was just messing around when this happened or not.

Wow. A good reminder that every time we use these tools, we are playing with a lot of energy combined with a lot of variables.

I'm positive this is a result of using the Lee Pro Auto Disc because prior to that I would charge fifty cases in a row and put them in an old ammo holder and look at all of them at the same time before batch loading all the projectiles.
Before this happened I realized, the change in procedure and use a lamp over the press to ensure I can see the powder before seating each bullet. Now I'm just trying to find an LED option because the lamp gets so hot.
