Grease gun issue

[bh10]

I just got a Lincoln grease gun, got it loaded up today loaded and bled. But it start squeeze the handle and the handle gets rock hard and nothing is coming out the end. Do I have a clog in the line?

Did you remember to take the end off the cartridge?

Yep. It is fairly easy to do when in a hurry. I knew what the problem was though pretty quick.
