I was at our gun club shooting trap with a group of friends a couple years ago. The guy shooting next to me is not what I call an "Avid Shooter". On one of his birds, he called pull and fired at the bird.... To me, the shot had an abviously bad "sound" to it.... He was shooting a Remington 870, and had already place another shell into the chamber... I immediately asked him to STOP!... I told him the shot did not sound right, and he needed to check his barrel... Sure enough, the wad was still in the barrel and luckily a crisis was averted. I asked him where he got the shells he was using, and he told me they were reloads given to him by his father in law..... I think on the one that failed, he must of had a seriously undercharged load in place.
Be carefull out there, pay attention to details, etc....
