    I have seen that picture before. But I still wonder how the heck it did not push out the squib?? I mean, those remaining shots have a LOT of energy (assuming they are not also squibs)

      Unlikely a primer alone would push them that far. My guess would be a VERY light powder charge in all the rounds. Maybe changed powder but forgot to change charge weight?

      I've had 2 powderless squibs. One stuck the bullet in the C/B gap. The one I had in a 1911 only required a few fairly light taps to push the bullet back into the chamber.

      You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
      You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."
