This is a friend-of-a-friend from Facebook. I think he sent the barrel back to Noveske and they milled it in half to see what happened. He said it's a subsonic load, and I know he's a NFA-type shooter with some very spendy supressed SBR's in various exotic calibers, and a big fan of Noveske. He claims that type of powder didn't meter out correctly, and now weighs them to be sure. I quoted most of the discussion from the thread on it.
I've caught a squib in my M14, They don't make a sound when you squeeze the trigger. I guess maybe since these bullets made it past the gas port they did. Also why would you not stop shooting when the gun didn't feel right? Never hurts to check when things sound or feel weird, sure is cheaper than a barrel or worse.
umm, full auto?
since these made it past the gas port, maybe they were enough to work the action?
That's the 1st scenario that comes to mind- when I have a round that just goes click, or doesn't feel right, I'll check to ensure it wasn't a squib...
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ, we are the III%, CIP2, and some other catchphrase meant to aggravate progreSSives who are hell bent on taking rights away...
You just have to cut the first few barrels in half to see if you did anything wrong. I don't see what the big deal is.

I've reloaded a few rounds myself in the past week...scared to death to actually shoot them![]()
