A fellow just brought in a Springfield Armory XD that was locked up with a round in the chamber. We got it loose and the 45 acp round had an extremely flat pierced primer but the bullet was still in the case. So figure that out. Normally even if it is too light a load the bullet will still be in the barrel. This load must have been extremely hot (a factory round)to pierce the primer and flatten it to almost twice it's size but yet the bullet was still in the case.

Flash hole not punched out?

out and R.J. got it first thing. The primer flash hole was not there so the primer fired but had no place to go and the primer backed out and flowed back thru the firing pin hole, locking up the gun.

I had the same thing happen to me

a the local firing range. Winchester .45 acp ammo with NO flash hole drilled in the brass. I had 4 out of a box of 100 with no flash hole. I have not used Winchester ammo since then. Hornady, Speer, and Remington Golden Saber in .45 acp and in 9mm.
