Failure to fire

Ok...so updates. This is really in two parts as I went to the range today.
1. Hellcat did awesome. 70 rounds of winchester white box (new white box vs the 10yr old stuff I used last time) followed by 50 rounds of hornady without an issue. On a side note - not a fun gun at the range, very snappy. But you don't buy a small gun for fun at the range. So I think this gun is good to go.
2. My 380 bodyguard had a misfire! What are the chances... I was using brand new winchester practice ammo/white box. It was the last round of the mag. This gun is DAO so I could have fired again but decided to eject the round and look at it. I am posting the pic of the round that didn't fire vs one that did. It maybe looked a little lighter but I couldn't really tell a big difference. Bullet also looked sort of damaged. Fortunately got a pic for you all. Keep in mind this isn't the hellcat anymore...I did fire 4 more mags through the gun after the misfire without an issue. This gun has probably 500 rounds through it without an issue.
