Absolutely inform the manufacturer, ASAP!

Don't just consider it, DO IT! They NEED to know something went wrong, before they can begin to figure out a fix.

If there was no powder in your squib round, where did the powder go? Into another case, perhaps? is there a double charge waiting out there in the as yet unfired rounds of that production batch?? OR was it some mechanical flaw that prevented charging that round but all the others are ok???

If the factory doesn't even know there is a problem, it can't be fixed. Tell them what happened, where you got the ammo, lot# and any other information they ask for.

I have no personal experience with Ammo Incorporated, so can't say how they will respond. I know what I'd expect them to do. Tell them what happened and then please tell us what they did about it.
