Not sure if this goes here or not but it involves a pistol so lets try it.

Okay, was at the range trying out some new recipes when i got the dreaded pop and no kick of a squib round. Naturally, my first thought was ****, I missed putting powder in one. However, when I manually ejected the round, I noticed the case was still had at least 2-3 grains of powder and that there was unburnt powder in the gun, all over the next round in the mag and all over my hands. So, I started looking at the primer as the culprit, primer strike looks normal, same as the rest.

So what else could it have been?

FYI: powder is stored dry, reloaded dry and all other rounds from that batch went bang. 45 ACP, 230 Gr JHP, 4.1 gr Titegroup, new winchester brass, Winchester Large pistol primers.

Despite the fact that the primer went POP I suspect it was a reject. Clearly it didn't have enough heat, flame and shock to set off the main charge. Just one of those things I guess.
