    Looks like a .22 caliber threaded for a suppressor, based on the load description, I gotta think .223/5.56. I just ASSumed it was an AR variant of some kind...

    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.

    yeah, I think its about as relevant.
    I don't think killing him is a really appropriate answer, but thanks for playing anyway.

    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...

    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'll have to tell my old neighbor that since he likes to load them hot. So hot that he had a Ruger GP100 blow up in his face and broke the frame! After witnessing that it made me think twice about reloading.

    compare the weight of yours to a factory load. (whole cartridge) if identical bullet weight etc. If it makes you feel any better.

    Pretty much what I've decided to do...
