You forgot the powder...

it's easy to get distracted and forget one, it happened to me

Thats the problem I am having. I visually inspect every single round. so it is highly unlikely I did not put any powder into the round.

Now lets say I some how missed 1 Round, what are the odds it just happens to be the very first round I fire out of about 100?

Anyways, is there any other reason? I am thinking of going back and lowering the seat of my bullet and lower it .0005 inches down.

Hello,

I need some help, I reloaded some ammo today, 115 grain 9 mm ammo. About 100 rounds.

The ammo chambered into the gun, but when I shot it, the very 1st round, i heard a weird noise, about half the noise of a full fired round, I instantly knew something was wrong and knew the bullet didnt fire because I felt zero recoil.

No casing ejected the slide. And when I pulled the mag off and I slided the slide back, the casing fell out with no bullet.

The bullet was stuck about 1/3 into the barrel.

I didnt fire another round after that.

Just by visual inspection, these rounds are kind of high, but they are eqavalent to federal rounds in size. I dont know the exact measurement, but its the right measurement and the powder was correct as well, I know for sure bcuz I checked every single round.

I use a lee reloader, and do not crimp.

I am thinking its the bullet was too high maybe?

Anyways just wondering if someone can help me out

At the VERY least you sir need to read a reloading manual from what I am thinking.

But for your IMMEDIATE problem, you should take a wooden or plastic (maybe even brass?) dowel that will fit in the barrel, push it down against the bullet and tap it out with a mallet. Short light taps if it is moving. (the dowel should enter the barrel from the MUZZLE, not the other way around...)

It is good that you have enough brains to have done what you did by not trying to shoot it out. The next thing I would do is put your location in your info so we can make better reccos for you.

Oh yeah, and you might wanna change that avatar to something better unless you are known as Flaco, Shorty, Lil'Pop, Smallfire, Short-Round or some other name on the street...

just saying

It is a classic squib load. You did not get the full charge of your intended load for some reason or the other. It should not have to do with your bullet or seating since you are chambering fine. For your load that is intended to shoot are you running near book max?

Did OP load on a single stage?

My friend loaded on a single stage and one of his rounds he "bumped" but did not think that much of it...

SQUIB at the range the next day, "But there were only a few flakes of power that got knocked out..." Yeah, that HE saw...

just saying

I have read alot of different guides.
I am not an expert dont get me wrong, this is second time ever reloading, the first time was the same way, but the difference was the bullets were deeper seated.

I already got the bullet out.

I am just curious to see if I should put the reloaded bullets through the press to seat it maybe 5% further down.

I used Autocomp for the powder, and 115 Grain Round nose bullets.
Also I took apart 5 random bullets and weighted the grains.

I got:
4.6, 4.7, 4.7, 4.7, 4.8

By book max I dont get what you mean, are you saying by book grains per round?

...

1%?

The fact that you don't know what your coal is even after experiencing a problem is somewhat concerning, but I will assure you, there is no way a seating discrepancy of .0005 or even .005 is causing a squib. Sounds like you missed a powder drop. It happens. It is possible that you had aome powder in there but not a full charge, which may sneak by a visual inspection. As stilly mentioned, push it out from the muzzle end. Most hardware stores sell a wooden dowel.. or an unsharpened pencil works just fine.

No I use a progressive press.

However, the brass is already deprimed and resized from where I buy it.

However I do run it throught the resizer again, and than i prime it myself. And than i check the powder every single time I reload it by visual inspection to make sure there is powder in there.

Okay thanks, The COL is on point. its recomended to be at 1.1", The average I measured was 1.15"

[Calico1404]

Need to try a few more rounds out of that batch prior to dropping 5%

In my opinion

[Toor95991]

1%?

hmmmm,

Techinally I think your odds are lower.

1 in 100 is 1% I agree,

However 1 in 100 on the 1ST PULL, is a lot less.

Its actually 1 in 10,000 chance to be exact.

Thanks that is exactly what I am going to do!!
