Squib Load

[DonnyCommo]

That's scary man! I've had 3 squibs. One of my reloads, remington, and one federal xm193.

I've had one squib load in my life. The round was a remanufactured 9mm from a vendor I'd rather not specify as most of their ammo has been great. Luckily, I noticed I had a click but no real recoil as I was shooting so I stopped, unloaded and checked the barrel. Would have been nasty if I'd been firing in fast repetitions but it was easily rectified and the vendor gave me a box of 50 for my troubles when I reported it.

Glad you are safe.

Only had one and it was my fault, .30 carbine round with no powder. Just touching the rifling, but what a bitch to find something to clear it out with(it was late and I wanted it out).

Hey guys,
So yesterday I was up in Pawnee National Grasslands shooting when I encountered my first and hopefully last squib load.
Has anyone else ever had a squib load while at the range shooting? I got lucky that the bullet was not to far down the barrel and it prevented me from fully chambering another round. My dumb ass thought it was just a failure to fire, I learned a lesson for sure.

This happened to me twice on the same day. I had 1500 rounds of reloads, we had shot about 900 rounds and then the first squib happened, didn't think to much about it and I treated it like any other malfunction, to get my gun back In the fight. After I looked, tap, racked and the round wouldn't go bang I canted my glock almost 80 degrees and noticed the barrel was 1.5mm out of battery. I disassembled my glock and found a squib not too far into the barrel but nothing too crazy to scare me, so I dropped in my replacement barrel and keep shooting. With in the next 100 rounds I had the same problem happen again. Overall, I finished shooting the reloads and didn't have any other issues but now I don't shoot reloads and if I was shooting reloads I will not practice malfunction drills.
Glad everything worked out for you.

Jesus carries multiple cheeks. Complete forgiveness requires lots of turning.

He has a Heavenly Host to deal with Satan's Legions. No real need for small arms when you can rely on the Arm of the Lord in this type of warfare.
