knock it out and go back to shooting it's just a load to light to push the bullet out and it gets stuck.I bet the primer was the only reason it shot might have been a blank case.
.
I am reloading for my 40sw and I like to dump the mag some times to so far no squibs.this also happens in shotguns when people reload the wad get's stuck most places will have a rod to knock it out.Originally Posted by olhunter View Post
I prefer to not mount the fat ones.
Nice racks are much better. You can grab both sides of the rack to help stabilize while mounting.ProShooter's

I have shot only about 150 of the OnTarget .45ACP reloads without any issues.
They sell for $20 for a bag of 50 and are always available as long as you shoot them there.
I believe OnTarget gouges their prices in their store to hold stock on ammo. They had a bad ammo shortage a month or so back, where they couldn't rent a good majority of their guns to people cause they just didn't have ammo in stock.
They do this in necessity, so people don't go to their store, buy up all their ammo and take it some where else to shoot. Because of this, they had to even issue the policy that you couldn't just buy their reloads for any other purpose than to shoot them at their range.

Shooting through a squib...DON'T!
I've seen my fair share of squib loads in classes. I'd personally say that you were VERY lucky in avoiding any major disaster. I've seen more than one firearm basically destroyed, and the hand holding the firearm at the time isn't always in any better shape. ALWAYS pay attention to your firearms report. And never shoot reloads from an unknown source. I've seen new factory ammo that had a squib in the box, so rounds from a "friend who has a friend who knows a guy, who..." no thanks.
It sure is tempting with much lower prices and the lack and expensive price of ammo these days. But, buying new factory ammo is still cheaper than replacing a firearm, and more so keeping or having to reattach your hand(s) and other body parts if there's still enough there to reattach!Comment

No, if you listen to the guy talking you'll learn that he fired +P ammo even though the manufacturer warns against doing so.
What do you mean by "spit" at you? I had a factory round shoot powder residue out and all over my right arm once, no squib though.
Last time I found 9mm at Walmart it was about $25 for a WWB of 50.Last edited by JDay; 06-23-2013, 10:03 PM.Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison

Fragments of the bullet came out between the wheel and forcing cone. Had a few little cuts in my left hand. Also had a fragment of the bullet wedged between the forcing cone and top strap. Took it to the gunsmith next day and he said everything was in spec on the firearm (SW 686). This only happened while firing reloads. Only put 80 rds of reloads through it when this happened. Been firing factory ever since and no problems.
A wwb of 100 rds of 9 is $24-$25 at walmart.Last edited by Your ad here; 06-23-2013, 11:01 PM.Comment

A guy next to me had a squib with .22. Winchester bulk pack. It really can happen to anybody at any time.
It's not a bad thing to have a squib rod in your range bag, and be extra cautious about that batch of ammo (seems like these things happen in clusters when the machine's screwed up or the operator needed coffee).Comment
