Ever had home defense ammo not go BANG?

Yep, Federal Hydrashock .45. 3 rounds. Just shooting up ammo I'd carried for a while, less than a year, in two different mags. I didn't fall in the river with it or run it through the car wash or anything weird, it just wouldn't go bang. I tried it in 3 different 1911's. I don't know if it came from the same box or not. That was the end of Federal ammo for me.

I just shot off some spear gold dot out of a glock that was loaded into the magazines I shot it from in 2006. The Ammo was exposed to pretty much everything under the sun from Vegas summers to Colorado winters, not a single ftf. I've seen dud rounds, but they haven't been a common occurance in my experience.
