Does a primer along (in most cases) without a powder charge

Thanks, looks very similar to my RCBS puller

If I had to buy a new one that would be the puller I'd get!

If you are going that route, don't rely on bang and feeling alone.  Make sure you see a new hole in the target with each shot.

Probably even more better to make sure theres  a hole thru the barrel. Stacking of tolerances could be a senior instant or someone heping on your target.

I had a squib in my .40, and the primer drove the 165 grain bullet well into the barrel. I was shooting steel for speed at the time, but it wasn't difficult to figure out that it was time to quit shooting. I think that only a rather inexperienced shooter wouldn't immediately know what had happened. If someone handed me a box of ammo with one squib in it I'd happily shoot away until I found the squib. I think the risk of shooting another round with the squib stuck in the barrel is negligible for anyone who shoots enough to load their own.
