Squib load?

[Omar]

Today a friend and I decided to hit up a local range.

Here's my stuff:

Here's the ammo I was using: combination of both WWB and Monarch brass

I loaded the 33rd mag to full capacity. On approximately the ~20th shot it didn't eject the case. I noticed how weak the kick was right away. I paused to take a look at the gun. I removed the mag and cycled the slide which then ejected the spent case. After that I said to myself, "OK, it's good to go." But for some reason I decided to strip it. As I looked at everything it seemed to be in proper form. Then I look through the barrel with no sunlight come through the muzzle and that's when I found the bullet lodged in the barrel...

Some friends have recommend to use a wood dowel and a small hammer to remove it. Others?


I'm just thankful I didn't just eject the spent case and chamber a new round. Someone was watching out for me....

I have used a cleaning rod and just tapped it out.

good for paying attention.

Good catch!!!
I've seen a few guns ruined because the barrel was not checked.
Sqibs happen even with factory ammo - its rare but it happens!
Because I hand load I have carried a brass rod and small hammer in my range bag for years.
Every now and then its needed.
That's the result of loading range ammo in a progressive press at warp speeds.
