Dystructoboi has it right that safety is #1
Meketrefe has it exactly right on how to handle ANYTHING that does not sound or feel normal.

That said - this happens at least once a week on the trap range. EVERYBODY who shoots ought to know what to do in this situation. NEVER EVER shoot again when you can't positively say that the bore is clear. This applies to muzzle loaders too!

Thank you for sharing the reminder.

PS - ALWAYS keep the muzzle in a safe direction and ALWAYS be 100% sure of your target and what is beyond it!

I think its just a question of terminolgy. Some might call it a dud or a misfire. Others just say an undercharged round. The important thing is not what you call it but how you treat it!
